Define material properties for different components. At the upper and lower wind direction bearing seats of planet carrier 1, select the nodes on the surface for frictionless forced displacement constraints (releasing the rotation direction and axial freedom). A nonlinear contact interference connection is used between the planetary gear pin 2 and the planet carrier 1.

The tooth profile modification is used to compensate for this deviation. By accurately simulating the deformation of the gearbox, it is brought into the planetary gear system gear modification model, and the relative deformation of the wind turbine gearbox is converted into the deformation in the gear meshing plane direction.

The main factors affecting the selection of reverse slope and drum volume are the relative displacement of the planet carrier 1 bearing and the structural deformation at the support position of the housing, as well as the manufacturing tolerances of some parts. The reverse slope modification volume is determined by the stress concentration phenomenon of the contact stress, and the drum volume is determined by the maximum value of the contact stress. The maximum contact stress between the planetary gear 4 and the sun gear 7 should be less than 1200MPa, and the maximum contact stress between the primary internal gear 8 and the planetary gear 4 should be less than 800MPa.

[0061] 9. Conversion of helix angle modification: The helix angle modification of different meshing sides of the planetary gear system is calculated through step 5.
