In this paper, the length of the protrusions and the angles between the rigid protrusions of the spider typecouplings are varied. The couplings are designed using modeling software PRO/ENGINEER WILDFIRE 3 and then it isimported to analysis software FEMAP NX NASTRAN for static analysis. The spider type coupling is given a constanttorque, is analysed using FEM technique rather than mathematical or experimental method because the mesh is madesufficiently fine around the areas of geometric discontinuity or stress raiser.The analysis is performed using FEMAP with NX NASTRAN by constraining all the degrees of freedom in thedriving shaft and then the torque is applied on the driven shaft in order to calculate the resultant stress. The analysis iscarried out. The results are tabulated and graphically shown. Finally, the comparison is done with NASTRAN results and manually calculated results.
