I would get a similar slow down in SolidWorks on large gears (lots of teeth) with a large amount of surfaces. I used to generate 2D geometry in AutoCAD back in the day and then import it into SolidWorks and extrude to get a gear in 3D. I've publicly shared a file with several of the gears in case anyone wants to take a I suspect the problem lies in the approximation of the involute curve on the gear tooth flanks. It looks like the gear generator produce a DXF file with tons of facets, so I'm assuming that is the source of the slowdown. I used a program called Gearotic to specify the gear features (DP, # of teeth, and PA), exported that to a 2D DXF, imported the DXF into GeoMagic, to extrude the basic gear shape, exported the extrusion to STEP format and then uploaded that to OnShape, translated it and then did some minor revisions on the gears. I've imported some gear shapes into Onshape Part Studios and now my assembly is sluggish when I attempt to starting mating components together.
