Has anybody done a chain in Solidworks?
For example: make one drive sprocket and idler sprocket and the driven sprocket. make the chain and create the mates between the links (yes it took a long time).
I can create the sprockets from Toolbox , create the path of the chain , then create a surface that the chain will be tangent to , then start creating tangent mates I can get only 4 mates done when the assembly becomes over defined. (I mate a tangent mate between the link roller and the surface path)
Can anybody shed some light on this .... please
