If creating a reduction gear, enter a string to define its name.
If modifying a reduction gear, enter its database name.
Because a reduction gear can work with either of the two degrees of freedom in a cylindrical joint, you must specify if the rotational or translational motion will be the input for the gear.
If the input joint and output joint you specified are either both left or both right entities, Adams/Car creates a symmetric reduction gear pair. For any other combination of left/right/single joints, Adams/Car creates a single reduction gear.
Because a reduction gear can work with either of the two degrees of freedom in a cylindrical joint, you must specify if the rotational or translational motion will be the output for the gear.
Enter the real value to be used for the reduction ratio in the following motion equation:
Invert output direction from input direction
Select if you want to invert the motion, which allows the reduction ratio to always be defined as a positive real value.
Select if the reduction gear will always be active, or will only be active in the kinematic mode.
Select to display a dialog box where you can add multi-line comments to any entity, to describe its purpose and function. Adams/Car displays different comments dialog boxes, depending on the entity type for which you want to record comments:
• If recording comments for modeling entities in Standard Interface, Adams/Car displays the Entity Comments dialog box.
• If recording comments for any other entity type, Adams/Car displays the Modify Comment dialog box.
