Manufacturing tolerances for a master gear

A method including, the following steps:

• defining manufacturing tolerances as permissible deviations from a predetermined target geometry of a master gear, which is a master gear for a rolling test,
• wherein, in order to define the manufacturing tolerances, a worst-case assessment for two or more geometric deviation parameters of a gearing of the master gear and/or an associated mating gear is performed by means of computer-implemented tooth contact analysis whereby
• calculated deviation of at least one value of a test characteristic of the rolling test resulting from the geometric deviation parameters is smaller than a specified limit value,
• wherein the computer-implemented tooth contact analysis comprises an AI model that has been trained using training data, wherein the training data comprises values of one or more test characteristics of a rolling test of gearings exhibiting geometry deviation parameters, wherein these values have been determined in simulation-based tooth contact analyses and/or test bench-based analyses, and wherein the training data comprise the geometries of the gearings exhibiting the geometric deviation parameters associated with these values.
