Calculates the required length of a chain or belt when you trace the path of the chain or belt.
You specify the path of the chain or belt by defining tangents connecting the pulleys/sprockets. Choose a chain or a belt from a standard content library. Then perform automatic optimization or manual displacement of one or more pulleys/sprockets before you start the calculation process.
Before starting the calculation, the geometry of the pulleys/sprockets has to be determined by definition of tangents along the pulleys/sprockets. After choosing a chain or a belt from the library, an automatic optimization or a manual displacement of one or more pulleys/sprockets can be carried out, before the calculation process is started.
