More about Pulley Elements
You must select four related elements when you do Add Pulley. The Pulley is a Driving-Pulley or a Driven-Pulley.
Driving-Pulley
•When you do Add Pulley, we add for you a Driving-Pulley to a rotating-Part when it kinematically-defined before you do Add Pulley. •The motion of a Driving-Pulley controls the motion of a Motion-Point along the sketch-path of a Belt. •You can add zero(0) or one(1) Driving-Pulleys to each Belt. |
Driven-Pulley
•When you do Add Pulley, we add for you a Driven-Pulley to a rotating-Part when it is not kinematically-defined before you do Add Pulley. •The motion of a Motion-Point along the sketch-path of a Belt controls the motion of a Driven-Pulley. •You can add a Driven-Pulley at each Arc along the sketch-path of a Belt - less 1 Pulley if there is also a Driving-Pulley. |
