This is a Fusion 360 tutorial that will show you how to model and animate a planetary gear train. We model the ring, sun, and planet gears using a spur gear add-in, and then proceed to model a carrier that will connect the planet gears to the output shaft.

The tricky part of modeling a planetary gear system in Fusion 360 is in defining the motion links between the gears. When defining the relative rotation of the sun gear and planet gears, we must also take into account that the carrier is rotating as well. In this tutorial, I show how to calculate the gear rotations and set the motion links correctly in Fusion 360.
