Best way to model crawler tracks of a crane?

Hello all,

 

What is the best method to use in Inventor for modelling crawler tracks of a crane around a specified path that is defined by a sketch, with a certain number of tiles, with 2 drive sprockets and 2 small sprockets that are just a guide? Plase look at the image for reference:

 

Thank you very much in advance!

There have been a bunch of posts like this over the years..

Googling "autodesk inventor chain and sprocket" should get you to a bunch of solutions/examples/videos,etc...

Also search on curve driven patterns.

 

If you still can't figure it out - attach a simplified part and path sketch here.
