Torque in mechanical set with periodicity

Hello,

I'm very new in this forum.

 

I have calculated the torque in the mechanical set of the sun, in this planetary magnetic gear. In the real model there is 3 planets so I'm using a 120° periodicity.

My question is: The torque that Flux has calculated corresponds to the hole sun? Or just to the represented sector? In this second case, I should multiply  the torque x3, right?

By the way, I'm using Flux3D 19.1

 

Thank you in advance for your time

 

Andres

This is an update to my previous post.

I have simulated the same structure but with 6 planets instead of 3.

Flux calculates now a torque ~1.8 times bigger than before in the mechanical set of the sun.

 

So I guess that, when a periodicity is used and only a part of the mechanical set is represented, Flux gives you the torque in the hole mechanical system, and not only in represented part. I have not to multiply xNumber_of_planets

 

I would really appreciate if anyone could confirm this

 

 

 

I don't understand how this forum works. I tried to answer to myself (instead of edit my previous message) but there is no button 'answer'. I can't actually answer nobody.

As I said, I'm very new here. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Regards

Andres

    Hi,

    In the case you use the mechanical assembly to calculate the torque, the result is the total torque.

    Best regards.
