bok ja sam dino :)

what type of mates did you use ?

[jackcaprio1129]

@mos3ad2006 I didn't put any mates between the chain and the sprockets. Positioned them by eye with Physical Dynamics on and then in Simulation I had gravity on as well, with 3D contacts between chain links and the sprockets... The motor is only on the first sprocket..

@jackcaprio1129

did you mate all chain elements together ?

anyway thank you very much

[jackcaprio1129]

@mos3ad2006 yeah they are are linked together, concentric mate and coincident mate between each link
