The following custom commands are delivered with the software. You use these commands in Sketch 2D to place belt-related equipment such as pulleys, idlers, trusses, trestles, and control points.
Place Belt Components Custom Command
Places equipment symbols, such as pulleys, idlers, trusses, and control points on belt profile geometry and exports the symbols to the 3D model.
Belt Correction Tool Custom Command
Checks for any faults in a belt profile. You can check for multiple connections, non-belt segments, and missing continuity and constraints in belt segments.
Place 2D Chute Shapes Custom Command
Places chute shape symbols on a belt profile inSketch 2D, and exports the symbols to the 3D model.
Create Trajectory Custom Command
Places trajectory paths along the material flow. The software adjusts the trajectory shape based on the conveyor type in Sketch 2D. This command is useful for laying out the conveyor and also using the Place 2D Chute Shapes custom command.
Place 2D Trestle Custom Command
Places trestle symbols on belt profile geometry and exports the symbols to the 3D model.
Idler Packing Thickness Custom Command
Calculates packing thickness and adds additional packing plates between idlers and their associated truss.
