Re: Pro-E techniques

Hi Murthy,

You can create a sketched curve that goes around the two sprockets, much like the chain would do when assembled.

You would use this curve to assemble the chain to the assembly. The first link would constraint to the curve using a planar joint. The other links would be assembled via pin joint or another mechanism joint.

I have attached a short video of how a chanin can move on a curve and the Pro/E models.

Take a look and give it a try. Let me know if you need help.

Thanks,
Mark
