Spur gear geometry

Hi,

 

I am a PhD student at Brunel University conducting my research on the noise and vibration attributed to spur gears in contact. I would like to ask for help from anyone who is an expert on gears for their opinion or direction in terms of reading material or thoughts on the limitations and design constraints of spur gear geometry. 

 

How to know the line/node/keypoint number in ANSYS

Hi,

 I need to do the modelling in a command file instead of through the ANSYS graphinc interface as I need to try out different configurations and automatically run it in ANSYS. My question is:

 Say I create a rectangular geometry using the BLC4 command:

BLC4,-5,-15,80,100

I need to load the structure using the DL command? How do I know which side of the rectangel is assigned which line number? Can I control this? Is it consistent?

 Thanks,
