Chains/link mates can be notoriously buggy and if not done properly. Many times the animation will not work if proper gear mates with correct ratio is not specified. +The motivation of first part of this tutorial is to show how to build a belts, chains, and links in Solidworks.

 As links and chains take a lot of computational and graphical power, it is suggested that one uses a rather powerful computer to avoid lags and stuttering.  As links and chains take a lot of computational and graphical power, it is suggested that one uses a rather powerful computer to avoid lags and stuttering.
