roller chain model
roller chain model
(OP)
Has anyone attempted to create a model of roller chain in 3D? Any hints on how to approach the modelling process?
I can imagine a range of approaches, from very simple and "representative" to very detailed. I'd like to end up with a model that is parametric to the extent of being able to change the chain size (ie: 1/2", 3/4" pitch), length (# pitches), and width (duplex, triplex,...). I don't necesarily care if the model is made from individual pins, links, rollers, and bushings, per se, although it would be nice if there's a way to do this without creating a real monster of an assembly file.
Thanks for any thoughts.

RE: roller chain model
still do not understand
meaby a thing like parent child relation?
do you have a example?
in catia?
as i am also thinking of making chain
but then also in kinamatics
wonder how it works when chaining gears
or you could see how it shifts?
also at certain rpm“s
