ratchets on the go workbench

Post by error on line 1 »

Considering manually constructing circular ratchets an annoing task you can now choose between the automated creation of ratchets that allow only for one direction or ratches that allow both directions. For inset mechanisms you can just subtract the generated shape. Add one of the desired geometries either as a part or as part of an active body. Change values regarding e.g. size and number of teeth within the models property settings. Possibly edit the Curve-property for inset directed ratchets.

If you consider some important feature missing let me know!

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.
