RecurDyn/TimingChain supports the system builder that you can create all system easily without the complicated calculation. The timing chain system is composed of several parts created the whole system with difficulty by general method because each part has strong relationship with other parts. The system builder creates the timing chain system with special parametric method such as Special Parametric Markers (SPM)

Terminology
•Pre-Global Data: In Pre-Global Data, basic values are defined such as Master Axis Type, Slave Axis Type and Chain Type.
•Global Data: In Global Data, the values of components and connecting elements are defined.
•Special Parametric Marker: controls position and orientation of between bodies.
•Special Parametric Value: controls geometric relationship between bodes.
