in 2D, the part name for roller chain sprocket assembly geometry is roller_chain_sprocket_assembly_2d.

The sketch in Figure 2-28 shows all input parameters of the roller chain sprocket assembly that can be used to customize the geometry part.

Table 2-7 shows the description of important input parameters for the assembly defined by roller_chain_sprocket_assembly_2d. For the input parameters related to the chain and the sprocket, see Table 2-3 and Table 2-5.

There are two variants available for the roller_chain_sprocket_assembly_2d geometry part:

Note that in both these cases, the computation of the sprocket center distance and the number of chain links are based on nonlinear equations. Hence, there is a chance that the links may not tightly wrap around the sprockets. If you want to make minor adjustments in center distance between the sprockets, set the center distance correction parameter ccorr to one and tune the value of center distance correction factor cdelta accordingly.

Table 2-8 describes the selections available for this part.
