Keywords: designing mechanical transmissions, power transmission, heat transfer, mechanical reducers

The communication presents the development of simulation process and associated tools and libraries to enable designers in addressing simultaneously power transmission and heat transfer in mechanical reducers. This involves a lumped parameter model of the reducer components that are combined to form the whole reducer simulated within the Dymola environment.
