Conveyor Belt Design and Contraint


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sup guys!!

 

Is there anyway possible to design a functional conveyor belt(treadmill) on Inventor? Ive searched and search but found nothing. Does AI have such capabilities?

 

I made one by sketching the loop (belt) then extruded the sketch. but it was only useful for visualizing belt on the two roller shafts that i have.

 

The only thing i can think of would be to break the belt down into individual flats, then then constraining each flat edge to edge, then to the rollers using rotational translation,Tangent.:?

 

I really would appreciate some advice on this.:D

Are you hoping to do some animations or dynamic simulations with this? do you need the wheels to drive the belt? can you give a little more info on what you would like to do with the model.

I plan on having one of the rollers/shaft/wheel coupled to a gearbox to drive the belt, while the second roller freespins on a bearing. Definitly want to be able to animate and simulate

 

 

I appreciate the help
