A virtual prototyping model for dynamical characteristic curves based on contact force was established, through the joint modelling (geometric modelling and constraint modelling) of planetary bevel gear CVT system in UG and ADAMS. The virtual prototyping experimental data proved that the system has the feasibility of over-zero variable speed. It is also verified that the model has advantage on continuously variable speed range, compared with planetary cone ring continuously variable transmission system. The main effect factors of the continuously variable speed performance and output torque are obtained. This model could be used to further study on such issues.
