Pattern Element
The Objective
•Learn how to model the path of a chain* with Piggyback-Sliders. •How to add a Tool-Part to the chain •Learn how to model the chain that indexes. •Learn how to use the Pattern FB to make copies of Solids (MD-Solids and/or CAD-Solids) |
* We can almost use the term belt and chain equivalently. However, this tutorial does not model the polygonal/chordal action that a chain experiences as it moves onto a sprocket. We will use the terms Chain, Chain-Link, and Sprocket, rather than Belt and Pulley.
Important:
This tutorial was prepared before the Motion-Path FB became available. You would now use the Motion-Path FB to prepare the path of the chain, and not Piggyback-Sliders. However, the Piggyback-Slider modeling technique is important to understand for different applications.
