Tutorial Overview

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a family of equal parts that move in the same trajectory but with a delay from each other. This is important to easily created many geometries moving in a complex manner by having to define the kinematics only once.

The tutorial will describe the steps to producing a simulation of a slatted conveyor belt for apples, as the one shown below.

The main focus of this tutorial is on:

• Importing a complex Polyhedral (Concave Shape)
• Creating multiple copies of a single geometry
• Adding linear translation and linear rotation to the geometry
• Adding texture to geometry
• Adding template to a particle

Duration

Setup - 30min

Simulation - 15min
