Chain Drive Animation

[ASchlaack]

I'm modeling out a steel belt conveyence system and need to aminate it. Steel belted conveyers are ran by sprockets and chain links built into the belt. Can I animate it to actually move? All I can find online thus far are ways to make it appear like it's moving but I need it to actually be able to move as if it were real.

This video is an example of what I mean by only being able to find ways to make it appear it's fully moving:

Mine isn't showing up how yours is... What's wrong with mine?

Morning Aaron,

Just click on the lower right icon on the screen, this will open up the "Action Editor".

Go through the Autodesk tutorials to get to know your way around the software, as some of

the techniques used in this assembly are not hard to understand but you could easily "get a bit lost"

in the "whys" and "hows" of the general setup parameters.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Mark
