The Web property page is shown in Figure 1. The parameters are explained below. In order to understand the geometry, refer to Dimension info.
•Web Geometry: defines the web width (Web Thickness) and web offset (Rim Thickness).
•Web Width: defines the thickness of the web outer.
•Web Offset: this value is applied in the direction that decrease from gear root radius.
•Hole Radius: defines the hub radius of the web.
•Hub Geometry: defines the hub width (Hub Length) and the hub offset.
•Hub Width: defines the thickness of the web hub in the width direction.
•Hub Offset: this value is applied in the direction that increase from the Hole Radius.
•Lightening Hole Geometry: Create a web with a hole as the inputted radius.
•Reference Radius: defines the radius where the center point of the lightening hole to be created is located.
•No. Holes: defines how many holes to create on the circumference.
•Radius: defines the radius of each holes.
