Hello all,

I am monitoring a belt length with a sensor and I would like to see how it changes when I rotate idlers/tensioners through their range of motion. Ultimately, I'd hope that Solidworks could generate a graph of the belt length vs time (ideally vs idler angle) for me but I'm not sure this is possible.

Anyone ever done something like this before? I am using Solidworks Premium 2010 SP4.

Thanks.
