Specialized Outputs

 

RecurDyn/Belt automates the generation of relevant outputs for a belt system, saving the user valuable time converting the general outputs into data needed to design or analyze his system. The following table summarizes the custom outputs for RecurDyn/Belt.

Belt#

 

Pos_

Position and 3-1-3 euler angles of a Segment Belt's center marker in the inertia reference frame.

_ContactForce

Contact Forces between a Pulley or Roller and a Segment Belt. The x, y and z components of the translational force generalized at the center marker of the Segment Belt due to the contact force acting on the contact point of the Segment Belt in its center marker.

 

 

 

Tension

Tension generated in a Segment Belt.

 

Roller

ContactPoints

The contact points data are written sorted by the bigger normal force. Each contact point data are 15 values includes contact position vector, normal direction vector, friction direction vector, penetration depth, penetration velocity, tangential relative velocity, friction coefficient, normal force, and friction force. The number of outputs is defined as the “No. of Max Contact Point” on the Contact page of the Roller properties dialog.
