Realistic belt animation
(OP)
Hello everybody, i want to design an internal combustion engine. I want to use a belt to link the motion from crankshaft to camshafts but i don't know how to make the belt move when i render the animation. It remains as a static object. Can anyone help me?

The best I can suggest is to treat the belt like a roller chain and modeling it as a series of linked segments that look like your belt. You might still use a belt part to act as cover for the segments so your animation does not show the gaps between the segments. Just an idea.
Other than that you might look for help/examples from Rob Rodriguez on animations. http://robrodriguez.com/wordpress/?p=1067
Perhaps you could post your results and share with us your lessons learned.
Good luck,
