Hello guys,
I saw this video tutorial on chain animation( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi4oLG3nZuc) and modelled it on my own. I have uploaded it on grabcad(Chain ). But I assembled all the links individually in order to simulate it in DMU kinematics which was a painful job.
I just wanted to know if there is a easy way to assemble all the links of chain patterning it like how its done in here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCjaL5x8_Qs&t=436s).

Best regards

Arjun

Yes I too had that pain. I think there is no of aligning with the curve. May be use can use reuse pattern but the link will not be aligned to curve. If you wish to modify the values I have the one already done with kinematics. Check out:Chain Mechanism
