How to create track vehicle modeling in MV 2023?

Hi experts,

 

I watched the video in Altair How to.

  1. I want to ask how to know link length, link thickness, and link width based on the geometry (using CAD graphics).When I tried this, it had this error as the image below:
  2. I have another question. how to modify the point to match the teeth geometry in the sprocket:

       Please find the attachment to know my model.

Thanks

    Hi Brian,

    Your “link-graphic-file” is not centered on (0,0,0) which then results in an offset to the wrapped link positions. Using the std. primitive CAD for the links shows good correlation.

    Reposition the link-CAD to be centered at (0,0,0) then it should align.

    And to the point position question: There is a ms_ref market in each of the rollers that you can reorient to make the nodes align with the CAD.

    Hi @Erik Magnemark 

    I tried to use a repositioned link graphic but it doesn't show the graphic.

    When I use primitive graphics, no errors appear.

    please find the attach to know link CAD

    Thanks

    Hi.

    Your "link.x_t" needs to be scaled into mm. It was x1000 to small. Then it wokrs.

    I have attached a re-scaled version of the link.

    Hi @Erik Magnemark 

    Why does the track not match with the wheel and idler?

    Thanks
