Hi Art,
I've been playing with non-circulars and am really impressed. 

I can produce impossible gears with some funny drawings on the screen. 

A suggestion might be to have a default button where the variables can all be put back to something that works.  I can get to a point where I can't remember what the "default" value was and the gears I'm producing aren't possible, and I can do that really quickly.  So a default or even a viable range for the variables would really help me.

You say on the video that the Nautilius gears are identical but on the simulation mine aren't exact and don't mesh (perhaps I'm out of the variable range)

Anyway that's my observations for now.

Thanks for the module!!

John:
 
  Good point. I will institute a defaults button. For now though..

Set Pressure to 20, Eccen to .5, Mod Coef to 0.
Log pitch to .2, shift to 0, stub to 1, and width to .51

All should generate with those settings...

Hi Guys:

  Program updated. Defaults button is added, and a meshing bug repaired.

Also, for the ones who do download the new version, do me a favor. Check the
options tab, at the bottom it should say.. "Cuda devices : n"

  What is n on your machine? This tells you if you have any GPU's I could program
which do math about 100 times faster than your CPU. Where your computer may get
8 or 10 GigaFlops, a GPU can do up to 350GigaFlops. Im playing with programming
those devices and was curious if many of you had a nvideo card capable of it.
Most NVidea's should say their available.

Thx
Art

I'm showing 'Cuda devices: 1'

My win7,32bit laptop shows 0

Hi Art
Cuda Devices = 0

PS Meshing on blue and white is perfect Orange not so much but better that it was.

Art,

Mine says cuda devices: 2.
It could be because I have two video cards.  They aren't really powerful because they are a couple of years old, but they are there.

My 32 bit XP, with a wonder 9800 series shows "0"


Cheers >:(

I have a "0" for my Toshiba Qosmio Laptop
