I have a gear and a chain that I have modeled. I want to two to contact one another such that if I pull the chain by clicking and dragging, the gear will rotate. I later intend to attach some pistons…Continue

"AMAZING! Did you design this yourself or did you use the Gee Bee Racer as a guide? This looks so much like it!"

"What type of motion study did you start?  It needs to be a Motion Analysis(not basic motion).  Motion Analysis is only available when you turn on SW motion Add-in on.   Gravity is universal.  It will ask you for a reference…"

"Ok so I am doing a little simple test to see if I can get two parts to contact one another in motion analysis. I have 2 pendulums. I have applied gravity to one of the pendulums that is turned 90 degrees on the axis of its pin. The pendulum is…"

"the only way i know off to manually drag the chain and turn the sprockets is to use the physical dynamics checkbox in the Move feature.  its not very stable when you start dealing with multiple links.  i typically use it for mechanical…"

"if your sketch had tangency applied it should.  If your surfaces arent tangent then you will have problems using them as a cam follower path."

jon replied to jon's discussion Gear/chain mate
"Nevermind, there was something wrong with the path, I redrew it and it works now. I watched the video in the link that you posted and I noticed that the guy did not have sprockets in his assembly. If he did, would they turn when the chain passes…"

"For some reason when I right click the extruded surface, select tangency is not even on the menu. Have you ever had this problem? "

Matt Perez replied to jon's discussion Gear/chain mate
"If you are in an assembly you will need to create a surface that represents the centerline path of the rollers on the chain.  I do this by starting a new part in the assembly and drawing a path.  This is easy by simply drawing two circles…"

"Ok I have my sprocket in the assembly.  I also made the chain according to the directions given in that other link you posted. Now which parts of the sprocket and chain do I select for the Cam mate? "

Matt Perez replied to jon's discussion Gear/chain mate
"when you go through all your selections and you get down to one sprocket, on the right side you will see some blue letters.  CAD|Catalog Page|Bookmark.  If you click CAD it will pop up with your download options and you can select 3D…"

"Where did you go to download the part files? I see the sprockets on the website but I don't see part files to download "

Matt Perez replied to jon's discussion Gear/chain mate
"yeah i know it is and i think if you look online no body fully answers the question.  The problem is that its a long process to get it to work.   The first thing I would do is download some actual sprockets.  Go to www.mcmaster.com…"

"Yeah I would like to make a rendered animation. Please send me the link to your video when you make it. I want to see how this is done because this situation is really frustrating hahah. "

Matt Perez replied to jon's discussion Gear/chain mate
"Close.  In the assembly environment there is no mate between the sprocket and chain.  You want to get the sprocket in place and then the actual mechanical interaction between the sprocket and chain will be handled in the motion…"
