Given that the IV team did so well with the class groundbreaking dynamic
modelling of spring action, can we look forward to chains, belts and true
gears one day?

Dynamic spring action???

[Anonymous]

Constraining a coil feature at each end. Thus causing the resultant solid
model to deform when driving this constraint. Something which I believe is
still beyond Solidworks.

It's a bit more complicated than that. It uses adaptivity.

Chains and belts are difficult as their DOFs change depending on where they
are in the system (on a pulley, riding along a chain track, tensioned
between two idlers etc..)

That's a bit pf a kinematic mess. I wouldn't expect IV to handle something
like this for some time to come.

I did not realize you could do this. Speaking of SW, if Inventor only had
dynamic kinematic collision detection... Oh well.

Ah, yes. I posted that as a wish list item for IV a while back.

Yes it is very impressive.

I had a colleague demonstrate it for me on his SW box.......


He'd never found a use for it in his years of work !

Oh well, maybe one day.


Let's face it one cannot model mechanics effectively without power
transmission. Relational motion can only model up to a point. Constant
contact transmission can be modelled in IV but not cyclical, intermittent
contact transmission.

I'd love to be able to model the conveyor systems I work with occasionally.

So my "Fishes" would be;

A Standard Gear wizard - Spur & helical with self calculating mesh depth
A belt wizard - Vee, flat, gated.
A standard chain wizard. - allowing use of attached pull fingers.


I've got a few years left in me... I'll wait ;o)

It's getting the boss to pay for what this work would cost that will kill me
;o)

I could use it every day.
