What You Will Create

During this tutorial, you will model a ploy-v grooved belt system consisting of 2 grooved pulleys and one tensioning device which includes a smooth pulley. All 3 pulleys will be constrained via revolute joints. One of the grooved pulleys will be actuated with a motion. Contact forces including friction between the discrete belt segments and the pulleys convey the motion.

The figure shows the poly-v grooved belt system that you are going to create.
