Hi,

we would like to have a construct named cylindrical gear with the following input parameters (which are given):

1. 2D Tooth contour
2. Sweep angle (rad/mm)
3. Helix axis
4. Gear width (mm)
5. Number of teeth
6. Root diameter

The tooth contour is a closed contour consisting of circular arcs, lines, b-splines, cubic bezier curves (+ control points).

When executing the script the following functions should be executed:

• generate a helix using the tooth contour along the helix axis with gear width as length and using the sweep angle. This would be one gear tooth.
• create a all teeth as polar array from the first tooth. number of elements = number of teeth. equidistantly over 360 degrees.
• create the wheel body using the root diameter, the helix axis and the gear width.

We would like to call this through a REST API and the response to be a STEP file.
