If you want to simulate a single contact between the gears, I would choose static structural.

As for the contact types, to make it more realistic you would definitely need a frictional contact (ps this is one of the hardest in terms of setting up and solution) . If you are new in Ansys workbench maybe starting with nonfrictional contact. You can check the contact type article for more information.

Hope these help

I want to model contact between helical gear. But i don’t know which kind of contact and solver should use.
Do you have any resources?
