Figure 36.1 Timing Chain example

RecurDyn/TimingChain is special environment for the modeling of timing chain systems. The system builder function is supported to define coordinated systems of the timing chain system. The component builder function is used to create bodies such as:

  • Cam sprockets

  • Crank sprockets

  • Guides

  • Tensioner guides

  • Tensioners

  • Chain links

Step to run Timing Chain System

  1. Define the pre-global data of an engine.

  2. Define the global data of an engine.

  3. Select geometries and connecting elements at the component builder.

  4. Define values of selected geometries and connecting elements.

  5. Build up an engine model by clicking OK.

  6. Run the simulation.
