Contact modeling of gears

Hi, I am doing spur gear to spur gear transmission analysis on motionview (gears have module 1 & teeth of the gears are 28 and 82). I used the rigid to rigid type gear contact and used poisson model with parameters as ,penalty = 1000, COR = 1, Normal transition velocity = 1mm/s to define the contact. I gave uniform rotational speed to the gear with 28 teeth and i requested for the output of rotational speed of the gear with 82 teeth. Theoretically i should be getting output plot to be a straight line with slope 0 & 1.024 rad/s (marker velocity) above x axis (time), but i am getting a curve which is not throughout straight line, plot shows a max peak of 7 rad/s velocity as well.

What could be the issue for this?

    Hi Abhishek,

     

    Do you see any disturbance in the curve which you plotted?

     

    Can you share the .mdl and related files using the file transfer link available in my signature?
