Belt Pulley Simulation

Hi ,

 

 

I had a query I have modelled a rope pulley sought of arrangement. I had few queries in regards to these cases.

 

1) Is the modelling of the rope with truss element correct. As rope doesn't need bending and all. Are there any other available elements or Is this correct?

2) I have given a type 7 Contact. Is my method to provide contact correct wherein  I have selected both the components?

3) In the simulation results of the H3d File a separation of the rope from the pulley is observed. Why does such  a phenomena occur?

 

 

yours sincerely,

kartik
