If you design internal ring gears or herringbone gears, you know that generating the sketch profiles can sometimes freeze SOLIDWORKS for 30-40 seconds.
The 2023 update rewrites the sketch solver for Involute curves. Users in the beta reported that generating a 200-tooth internal gear is now roughly 3x faster than in GearTrax 2022. The rebuild times on the native SOLIDWORKS features have also been optimized.
GearTrax isn't just for geometry; it calculates mass and inertia. The 2023 update syncs with the real world:
CamNetics has hinted at two major features for the next point release (2023.2):
For now, the 2023 update lays the foundation for these advanced features.
