Gear constraint example (demo_MBS_gears.cpp)

Create a transmission made of pulleys, spur gears, bevel gears.

Custom simplified constraints are available, to avoid the simulation of contacts between gear teeth.

This tutorial shows how to:

  • use ChLinkLockGear constraints to represent simplified gear interaction in 3D space

  • the ChLinkLockPulley constraint is used to model simplified pulleys in 3D space.

  • manage rotations of references using ChCoordsys and ChFrame classes.

  • create a motor between two parts.
