Problems animating flow of parts along curved path
Problems animating flow of parts along curved path
(OP)
Hi
Trying to pull a chain of mated parts along a curved path thereby simulating flow of particles along a complicated conveyor path.
Chain is similar to a tank tread assembly, flexible in direction normal to path. Curved path is an extruded polyline.
Problem is mates are lost when trying to use the solidworks animator. I lose the mates pinning the chain to the path and have to start all over again.
has anyone had this type of problem? Is it a bug?
Any suggestions?

I have the same mate problems with the Mike Wilson race car track - the mates, car to car; car to track get lost when getting out of animation environment.
