How do I model conveyor belt in Abaqus.
My Model: I have two rollers and a belt that wraps around the rollers. There is friction between the belt and the roller, that makes it move around as both the rollers moves in constant angular motion. The thing is the motion of the conveyor does not remain stable, as it experiences shear stress, and the belt kind of gives wave like patterns. I want the conveyor belt movement to be as stable as possible. Hence I wanted to ask how would you guys go about modeling conveyor belt?
Also, while researching I came across this connection type called Flow Converter and it seems theoretically that this connector would make modeling conveyor belt easier. It is just that I don’t know how to implement it. If anyone could provide insight into it, that would be highly appreciated.
