mating constraints for links of a chain
mating constraints for links of a chain
(OP)
Dear all,
I have tried to give constraints to two links of a chain,
but couldn't succseed.I didn't get the desired effect.Does anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks!

Or another approach is to use surfaces in the part and constrain certain areas of one part to the surface of the other part.

RE: mating constraints for links of a chain
The driven distance between the one plane (spocket center point location) and a parellel plane for the tightening roller is kept by an equation which keeps the length of one link times the # of links = the overall length of the assembly sketch constant.

RE: mating constraints for links of a chain
I created one link of chain and then used a curve driven pattern to get the desired chain type. Then if the chain is used in many different set-ups you can create configurations driven by a design table.
Just a suggestion!
