Sprocket C-Hook?

[Eric S.]

Hello

 

I hear that there is a c-hook for creating chain sprockets about? Hoping somebody here might have it and be kind enough to share? My head is starting to hurt

 

Thank you

Eric

Oh $100 I didn't know that. Thanks

I guess I'll have to figure out how to get the Gear c-hook to work

 

Thank you

 

I have now padded my desk in anticipation...

The developer of the Sprocket C-Hook provided a 3-run trial:

Sprocket C-Hook Trial

 

I'll post contact info here if he OKs it.

Thanks for Trial version Dave. I'll give it a try in a bit.

Robk, sprocket geometry differs from gears so the Gear chook won't do it.

I have used it in the past to create chain sprockets. Had to improvise

It makes a excellent template.

LOOK ON THE FTP, it's not a c-hook, but...

 

In the "text,posts&misc" directory.

 

Find the "sprockets.zip" file.

 

John Summers was kind enough to put this up. (THANKS!)

 

I have used it - works fine - a little work, but will give you a tooth profile that you can translate into a whole sprocket.

Thanks Mark

 

I'm not sure what to do with it? Reading the pst file I get lost on the 3rd line.. hehe

 

"INPUT: Dummy -.NCI file (MP needs the -.NCI name. Just make a file with the sprocket name with the word 'dummy' in it.)"

 

Where do I make this file? Sorry if this is a Dummy question.

[M. Anderson]

Eric,

 

The "sprocket.pst" when ran will ask for, (need), a *.nci file.

 

Just open notepad on your computer - type in the word "dummy" - Go to file menu "Save As" - and with the " (quotes) type in "dummy.nci" in the file name box - you will also need to select where to put the file - I used the Mill - NCI directory - select save - your file is created.

 

Now when you run the post and it asks what *.NCI file too use - sellect this file.

 

Clear as mud! Right?!

 

Later,

Mr. Anderson,

 

Nice avatar !

[Eric S.]

Thanks Mark That sound easy enough....I think hehe

MP (the postprocassor DLL) needs a -.NCI file name because it uses it to name the output files, so you can make a file with an editor, giving it the file name (name).NCI. If the -.PST file has everything under the PQ block, it won't even try to read the -.NCI file, but it uses the name of the -.NCI file.
