    LTCAMeanSlidingPowerLoss

    Please note that this efficiency rating method uses the coefficient of friction method (and associated input parameters) specified on the active micro geometry in Gear Micro Geometry mode. This method is also unable to be overridden on individual load cases. Using loaded tooth contact analysis, the power loss is calculated by summing the local power losses at all the loaded contact points along each loaded contact line, and then averaging these results for all loaded contact lines in the LTCA contact chart. At each loaded contact point, the local power loss is given by the product of the coefficient of friction, the sliding velocity, and the load at that point.

    Script

    Uses the selected Mesh Efficiency Script to calculate efficiency.

    UserSpecifiedToothLossFactor

    Replacing the tooth loss factor defined in ISO/TR 14179-2:2001, the fraction of power lost is given by the product of the coefficient of friction and user-specified tooth loss factor.
