How can I create a flat belt?

[fce]

Hello,

How can I create a flat belt driven system? The drive system and the flat belt are in the attachments of this message.

What I did until now was to create a part for the belt within the assembly (extrude part). The sketch is depending on the position of the rollers and everything else. Although when I create the belt I can no longer move the system. If I supress the belt, move the system and unsupress the belt, the belts assumes the new positions.

My purpose would be to be able to still get a variable assembly so I could also make a dynamic simulation of the system.

I would really be thankful for some guidance in this.

Best Regards

Hi.

You have to guarantee that the belt.ipt is Adaptive in the assembly.

Did you find this reply helpful ? If so, use the    Accept as Solution or Kudos - Thank you!

Hi there CarlosC,

Sorry for the late answer.

I had it already as adaptive. The part is adapative and the sketch and plane too. I send to you a picture with it.

Still I can´t move the system. If I supress the belt, then I can move the system.

Unsupressing the belt again makes it go to the new position.

As you can see in the picture I have the belt part patterned. Although I also tried without the pattern and it didn´t work.

I send to you a picture of the belt and its sketch as well.

Thank you for the help

I would like to know what can I do to make it happen.

Can you zip and attach your part and assembly files here?

Hello Cameron Whetten,


I can only send you the part and a schematic to help the understanding of it.

Tell me if you need some other information.

There are plenty of online tutorials/videos on this.. Did you try searching..

Try first then see if we need to write it all out for you..
