29. Belt

Figure 29.1 Belt example

RecurDyn/Belt is used to model the belt systems and pulley systems of various types and configurations. Typical applications of RecurDyn/Belt include modeling and engine Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) system consist of the Ribbed V-belt, Ribbed V-pulley, and Roller. Continuously variable transmission (CVT) system uses Roller, Flange, V-pulley and V-belt. A Timing belt mechanism consists of Roller, Timing pulley, Timing belt.

Step to create a belt system in segment assembly mode

1. Create a belt segment.

2. Create a pulley(s).

3. Assemble a belt system.

4. Define the connector force parameters.

5. Define the contact parameters.

6. Run the simulation.

Step to create a belt system in element assembly mode
