Sink Chain

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am using Inventor 2010 and I trying to create a sink chain (you know like the chain on a plug in a sink)! How would I construct this model?

Thanks in advance

To make a Stationary model would be relatively simple. Sweep a "cord" using the path you want the chain to have and then revolve a small sphere at the end and Pattern it using the swept path.

If you need it to ACT like a real chain, then that's a different matter. There are other posts that discuss modeling a typical Chain and those techniques would need to be applied.
