I have a new question, I want to improve the model of the rubber v-belt but I'm not sure how to model.
The v-belt excist of diferent layers, to simplify it excist of rubber and some fibres like kevlar in the longitudinal direction. Should I use a hyperelastic model or use an elastic anisotropic...
Thanks, I Understand it now.
I first made the same symmetric model and it works.
Then I changed my first model with 4 pulleys and it also works.
Movie of that: http://www.filedropper.com/nosymetricsimplebelt (sorry I misspelled symmetric)
Then I made a better v-belt (called belt2) but it had...
Thank you very much. It is finally working. I'm now doing some fine tuning and after that I will upload my result.
I understood all of your comments except 2 of them:
4. Split belt and modified mesh
5. Z constraint for split in belt for initial and step 1
Did you mean the symmetric split (split...
Hi,
Thanks for your help.
Officialy I may not use a symmetry plane, because the belt will be a bit out of the centre normally. But better having a working model with symmetry than have nothing. So I changed my model to your comments but it is still not working. I also tuned a bit with damping...
Hi,
I'm trying to learn abaqus because I want to simulate en CVT system with it. After a lot of trying a got finally me model in the starting position. I made a belt which is clamped between 2 sets of poulies. When I'm turning one of the poulies, abaqus runs into simulation problems (to small...
