Click the button. GearTrax will generate a wireframe and shaded preview. Observe the undercut warning if the teeth count is too low (for 20 teeth, you are safe).

The add-in registration was lost. Fix: Uncheck GearTrax in Add-ins, restart SolidWorks, then re-check it. If that fails, re-run the GearTrax installer. geartrax solidworks

Cycloidal drive mechanisms and elliptical gears. The add-in registration was lost

Professional mechanical engineers, gear manufacturers, robotics designers, or anyone who regularly needs accurate gear models in SolidWorks.

Before you can generate your first gear, you need to ensure the add-in is correctly installed. Here is the standard workflow:

Let’s walk through a practical example. We will design a standard Spur gear with a module of 2.5, 20 teeth, and a pressure angle of 20 degrees.
