Simulation processing is a major means of design the model of spiral bevel gear
and also an important part of its digit al manufacture.According to the research achievements of simulation processing for spiral bevel gear in recent years
they are reviewed by diving into two types namely the simulation processing on the base of the special and general machine.Moreover
the key steps and thought in the simulation are summarized
the comparison and analysis of their advantages and characteristics are carried out
in order to provide later researchers with a train of thought about design and manufacturing of spiral bevel gear.
