Modeling Rope in Pro/Engineer
Modeling Rope in Pro/Engineer
(OP)
Hi All,
I'm trying to model a pulley in Pro/E. I'm having trouble representing the rope.
Is there any way to model rope directly or through a mechanism connection? Is there a different software that is better suited for rope? Thanks.

There are other ways to do this, but it all depends on your exact needs of the rope.

I just saw a cool presentation on YouTube about the Belts and Chains functionality in Solid Works 2007 which was pretty impressive but it only works for closed loop belts.
Here's the link it shows the functionality at 1minute into the presentations.

You can do basically the same thing with a sketch and offset edge in Assembly mode.

Select Rope to create Perim
Notice Rope var Dim get smaller by 50 when 200 dimension is changed to 400. 50 = (400-200)/(4 lengths of rope).
