draw ropes and open chains

[Zan3s]

hi, I find myself having to draw a rope or chain with attached 2 weights to the ends, one is motorized and flows on linear bearings and the top acts as a counterweight and supported by 2 pulleys, a kind of carrucola to understand us. I was wondering how I can put a rope that is "flexible" and move along a established path, and how you can do the same thing in case I need to need.
I attach 2 images that I hope will make you understand my problem better.

ps:I was working on inventor 2020

the best thing is to draw a sweep together with the points of the sketch lines path, beginning and end bound to the mechanics you will move.

I'm sorry I don't understand, I'm paratica in the very near create a new part (the rope) the model through the sweep binding start and end to the parts I have to move, but in this way I wouldn't go to create a new rigid component? or when I lift a component in this way should arise both being connected to the rope if rigid

Usually with parametric cads it works like this. moving the counterweight that must be related to the head race....positioning the sketch hooked to the two objects you get that seems connected.
I always did it with compression springs.

but how do you relate it to the race of the head?

 

[meccanicamg]

first thing you do a distant bond of your head than the counterweight. then do a formula where moving x on one side is added and on the other subtracted.

thank you so much indeed with the rope, binding the sketch in this way works, different speech instead should be done for the chain having to move the links between them

do not draw the shirts but as it was a rectangular section rope more or less shaped (shafting).
the fixed to draw the shirts passes after two or three times of commitment and unnecessarily thrown hours.

 

[Zan3s]

yes it is actually the most practical solution, even because drawing the individual shirts in a set already full of a large extra load to the computer at all
