Timing Chain

 

Figure 1  Timing Chain example

 

RecurDyn/TimingChain is special environment for the modeling of timing chain systems. The system builder function is supported to define coordinated systems of the timing chain system. The component builder function is used to create bodies such as:

 

     Cam sprockets

     Crank sprockets

     Guides

     Tensioner guides

     Tensioners

     Chain links

 

Step to run Timing Chain System

1.  Define the pre-global data of an engine.

2.  Define the global data of an engine.

3.  Select geometries and connecting elements at the component builder.

4.  Define values of selected geometries and connecting elements.

5.  Build up an engine model by clicking OK.

6.  Run the simulation.
