Re: Pro-E techniques

Hi there !
I tried assembling the chain members as per the instructions.Since i have a longer curve it really takes a whole lot of time to regenerate.I also wonder if we have to constrain all the members of chain with a slot mechanism (each) to the curve ?.

Or is it enough to just constraint the first member of the chain. My model freezes up due to large number of members each having 2 pins joints ( to connect to other members) and 2 datum points per member being constrained to the curve through slot mechanism.

Thanks,
Murthy
