I'm very new to iLogic but I tried to have a go at making Gears automatically.

So the Problem is: I made a list with all the factors that are needed for every gear according to the Norm I'm using. The factors for everything are different if you make a pinion or a gear. I made it so you can decide weather you want to make either one of them. But for some reason it just never updates the factors so I'm stuck with the pinion factors for the gears or sometimes vise versa.

I haven't quite figured out when it changes but I'm a bit confused. Can someone with iLogic experience check my code or tell me where the problem could be?

Here is the Text (Trieb means Pinion and Zahnrad is Gear):

If Parameter("Type") = "Trieb" Then

Parameter("s1") = 1.1

Select Case Parameter("Z")

Case 6
Parameter("Ha") = 1.64
Parameter("Hf") = 3.20
Parameter("ρ") = 1.05

Case 7
Parameter("Ha") = 1.64
Parameter("Hf") = 3.30
Parameter("ρ") = 1.05

Case 8
Parameter("Ha") = 1.52
Parameter("Hf") = 3.40
Parameter("ρ") = 0.95

Case 9
Parameter("Ha") = 1.52
Parameter("Hf") = 3.45
Parameter("ρ") = 0.95

Case 10
Parameter("Ha") = 1.52
Parameter("Hf") = 3.50
Parameter("ρ") = 0.95

Case 11 To 20
Parameter("Ha") = 1.44
Parameter("Hf") = 3.60
Parameter("ρ") = 0.85

End Select

ElseIf Parameter("Type") = "Zahnrad" Then

Parameter("s1") = 1.6
Parameter("ρ") = 2

Select Case Parameter("Z")

Case 6
Parameter("Ha") = 2.40
Parameter("Hf") = 2.80

Case 7
Parameter("Ha") = 2.50
Parameter("Hf") = 2.70

Case 8
Parameter("Ha") = 2.60
Parameter("Hf") = 2.60

Case 9
Parameter("Ha") = 2.65
Parameter("Hf") = 2.55

Case 10
Parameter("Ha") = 2.70
Parameter("Hf") = 2.50

Case 11 To 20
Parameter("Ha") = 2.80
Parameter("Hf") = 2.40

End Select

End If

I've noticed something about the way I think that I haven't been able to find much information about, and I'm curious whether anyone else experiences something similar.

For the past few years, I've realized that my thoughts almost always have a persistent "default location." It's always a real place from my hometown or the surrounding area. These places are usually completely ordinary (a path, a street, a forest trail, etc.) and aren't necessarily emotionally significant.

The interesting part is that the location stays the same for weeks or months, and then one day it changes abruptly (often from one day to the next). I can't consciously choose or change it.

Whenever my mind wanders, has conversations, plans things, or works through ideas, it's as if everything is happening in that location. I don't just vaguely know where I am, I can visualize it in detail, probably within a radius of about 10 meters, including trees, rocks, fences, and other landmarks.

The location also seems to become associated with that period of my life. For example, an unpleasant roommate became mentally linked to one of these places simply because that was my "default location" at the time. More recently, I broke my foot on an MTB trail, and around that time my default location switched to the place where the accident happened.

Interestingly, this doesn't happen with everything. If I'm working with text, letters, or equations, I usually imagine them on a plain white background because it's less distracting. But for more complex reasoning: planning, conversations, problem solving, or imagining 3D objects. I often end up back in this default place. I also work with CAD and can mentally visualize and manipulate parts without needing the software.

I'm not asking because I think this is a disorder. I'm just curious whether this is a known cognitive style or if other people experience something similar.

A few questions:

• Does anyone else have a persistent "default place" where most of their thoughts seem to happen?
• Does your default place change over time?
• Can you choose the place, or does it seem to choose itself?
• Do you associate periods of your life with specific mental locations?
• How do you experience thinking in general? Is it mostly words, images, spatial scenes, or something else?

So I have this Project in mind where I want to build a tiny Car that is powered by a small motor. Currently I don't have any dimensions or plans whatsoever. The motor doesn't fit in the car sideways so I need to change the axial direction from the motor to the rear wheels. My idea is to produce 45 degree gears but that seams a bit tricky. I assume you can not just simply cut these gears the same way as you would regular spur gears on a lathe but at a 45 degree angle. right? Do the teeth need to be tapered in a way that they engage properly?

Do you have a better idea to change the axial direction of the motor? Like any other type on gearing type? or an I just overthinking it?
