Mastering SolidWorks Variable Pattern — Gear Design Using Blocks and Variable Pattern

Designing a Monopole Gear may look complex, but with the right approach, it becomes a powerful example of parametric modeling in SOLIDWORKS. In this video, I’ll show you how to create a fully editable gear using Blocks and the Variable Pattern feature, so every change updates automatically.

You’ll learn:

• How to build a parametric gear tooth profile using Blocks
• How to apply Variable Pattern for non-uniform tooth spacing
• How to construct the full Monopole Gear geometry step-by-step
• Tips to avoid patterning errors and rebuild issues
• How parametric changes affect complex gear designs

Whether you’re improving your modeling fundamentals or exploring advanced gear workflows, this tutorial gives you the clarity and confidence to design smarter in SOLIDWORKS.
