How do you constraint a chain belt concept to a Rounded rectangle

[esjoseph]

For a Current Students project, I need to know how to constaint a flatsided chain belt to a rounded rectangle consisting of 2-half circles and 2- parrellel lines. what constraints do i need to use. NOTE: We can't seem to be able to use a mate or flush and a tangent constraint. we need something other than that. we also tried to open a seperate .iam of the belt in a current construction of the project and it does not work either.

attach the belt and rectangular mating part (zip them into 1 folder)

I'm afraid you will have to post the assembly and all parts,
zipped, along with the version of Inventor you are using in order to get help on
this one.

I suspect the solution will to be a curve driven pattern of a workpoint and then a component pattern, but without the data set this is all a guess. Zip and attach what you have so far as suggested by others.
