Re: Roller chains generator

Not that I know of.

Instead of placing and constraining all of the links I would place one pin link and one roller link and then pattern in the assembly. (There is a bit of a trick to get this to work.)
Attached is an example one of my students did (he got the catenary curve on the wrong side but otherwise nice).
