RecurDyn Belt is used in the wide variety of fields from automotive timing and front-end accessory drives to lawn mowers, washing machines, and road milling equipment. Although the equipments have been problems which are difficult to perform the modeling function by the existed CAE tool for the analysis and spent the much analysis time, the user can analyze to create the drive system from the simple geometry to the complex belt 3D geometry by RecurDyn Belt.

  • Assembly by rigid bodies supporting the type of Flat, V, Ribbed V and Timing
  • Assembly by beam elements supporting the type of Round, Flat, V shape, and TimingBelt1.jpg
  • Assembly by shell elements to the belt of wide width
  • Roller, V-pulley, Flange, and Ribbed V-pulley contacted by the belt
  • Crown Roller to enable the user to create the free shape

Benefits

  • Model & simulate sophisticated products quickly
  • Obtain dynamic load history for stress & fatigue analysis
  • Perform “what if” studies in order to refine:
    • pulley profile design
    • belt design
    • guide design
  • Study product dynamics:
    • transient conditions at start-up
    • failure conditions at high speed
  • Design tensioning devices to optimize belt tension

Features
