Working Model 2D (WM 2D) is a powerful, easy to use planar multibody software that has been adopted by many instructors teaching Statics, Dynamics, Mechanisms, Machine Design, as well as by practicing engineers. Its programming and import-export capabilities facilitate simulating the motion of complex shape bodies subject to constraints. In this paper a number of WM 2D applications will be described that allow students to understand the basics properties of involutegears and how they are manufactured. Other applications allow students to study the kinematics of planetary gears trains, which is known to be less intuitive than that of fix-axle transmissions.
