Pulleys and rope mechanism
grabcad
In my experience, Solidworks can indeed simulate belts but not ropes. To overcome this, I employed some creative techniques to achieve the desired result. The mechanical properties and animation turned out well, albeit not entirely accurate as it's not actual ropes. As per routine, I exported the model into various formats, unsure of the outcome due to hidden objects. Lastly, I opted for Basic Motion instead of Motion Analysis, as the latter did not function properly in this scenario.
