The Transmission Error subnode is automatically added to a Gear Pair node when Include transmission error is selected under Gear Properties. The static transmission error for individual gears or for a gear pair can be entered in this node.

Select the transmission error method Specify — Transmission error of individual gears, or Transmission error of gear pair.

For Transmission error of individual gears, enter the following:

Select the Wheel transmission error as function of — Mesh cycle, or Full revolution and enter Wheel transmission error ewh. Similarly, select the Pinion transmission error as function of — Mesh cycle, or Full revolution and enter Pinion transmission error epn.

The default expressions for the transmission errors depend on the selection in previous input (for example, the default expression of Wheel transmission error is (0[m])*rotsld.grp1.thm_wh when Mesh cycle is selected). The exact naming of the variable depends on the tags of the nodes in the model tree.

For Transmission error of gear pair, enter the following:

Select the Transmission error as function of — Wheel mesh cycle, Wheel full revolution, Pinion mesh cycle, or Pinion full revolution.

Enter a Total transmission error, et. The default expression of total transmission error depends on the selection in previous input (for example, it is (0[m])*rotsld.grp1.thm_wh when Wheel mesh cycle is selected). The exact naming of the variable depends on the tags of the nodes in the model tree.

This node is automatically added when Include transmission error is selected in the parent Gear Pair node. It cannot be added or removed manually.
