how can I add springs and belts in an assembly? I would like them to behave the way they would in the real world, ie; I do not want them to remain rigid for example, the spring should expand and contract when constrained on one side and a force applied on the other
Well chains and belts do the same thing fundamentally but when you analyze a comples system requiring work in to details the differences between xhains and belts become important
If you need the belt to adapt to the pulley diameter, you can define it with a perimeter dimension.
I did this for geting automatically the required axis distance, but never tried to assamble them flexible with the pulley diameter as measurement.
