Designing a Hirth Spline

Solidworks + Excel instruction on how to design a Hirth Spline. Background on Hirth Splines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirth_joint The basic idea of a Hirth spline / Hirth Joint is that the whole geometry is defined from a combination of a single reference point and a grinding/cutting geometry. Two Hirth splines with the same basic tooth geometry will match to form a secure joint that can transfer torque and allows for accurate alignment of parts. Hirth splines and joints are often used in turbomachinery to accurately align various shaft parts and transfer torque.

Hello everyone, In this new tutorial you will learn, how to create a product table in an assembly. It allows you to create different configuration in a product. You will have access to an Excel sheet and decide for each configuration to keep a part (as "true) and remove a part (as "false"). Hope you will enjoy the video! Find the models on these Grabcad links: - https://grabcad.com/library/room-with-3-configuration-1 - https://grabcad.com/library/plate-with-configurations-1 Please Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe :D

I'm not sure if this is the "correct" answer, but I got it to work by adding Thickness@Sheet-Metal1 to the table and changing it along with PL Thick.@Lofted Bends1. See screen caps.
