Dear all,

I aim at designing a system composed of a long belt between two pulleys. One of the pulleys is driving the system. The belt should be attached to a flat plate (sliding on a linear guide).

My problem comes from attaching the belt to the sliding plate. When I put in place the Belt/Chain feature in SW 2012, I can click on the 2 rolling surfaces of the pulleys and I see a belt appearing, as expected but now when I add the flat surface of my plate in, SW complains about the plate being flat.

This is a common design so I was wondering whether there was a way to implement it in SW 2012?

Regards,

Antoine.
