Gear mesh

Connection kind gear-mesh (category mech, DSL name mesh, API v1)

Couples two spur gears of the same module. The layout solver places the driven gear tangent to the anchor on the chosen side.

Accepted ports

`side` — Where the driven gear sits relative to the anchor. One of: right, left, up, down, or { angleDeg: N } for an arbitrary angle in the XY plane.

Parameter	Type	Default	Constraints
`side`	any	right	allowed: right, left, up, down
`engaged`	Boolean	true

ω_to = -ω_from · (teeth_from / teeth_to). Sign inversion models the physical reality of meshed teeth spinning in opposite directions.

This connection computes the driven component position from the anchor.

connect G1.axis -> G2.axis with mech.mesh {
  side: "right"
}
