3D DESIGN OF A AUTOMOTIVE 5 SPEED SYNCHROMESH GEARBOX IN AUTODESK INVENTOR

Abstract

The gearbox is a rotary assembly that provides speed and torque conversions from one rotary power supply (crankshaft) to another device (drive wheels) due to internal combustion engine limitations and also facilitates the shaft steering output.
Autodesk Inventor is a computer aided design (CAD) application for creating 3D digital prototypes used in mechanical design, visualization, tooling creation and product simulation. It allows the user to create prototype products that accurately simulate the weight, stress, friction, driving loads, and many more properties of the products and their components in a simulated 3D environment.
This paper contains all the graphic knowledge and operations required to create a 3D model of a manual gearbox by using the Autodesk Inventor software, and step by step, procedure for generating a 3D model of an synchromesh gearbox, starting from the initial calculus in Mathconnex.
