Bevel Gear
Use the Bevel Gear node to model a bevel gear in 3D. The gear is assumed to be rigid. Select one or more domains to make them a part of the gear.
A bevel gear can be connected to another Bevel Gear through the Gear Pair node. Two bevel gears can be connected to each other only if they satisfy the Gear Pair Compatibility Criteria.
