About
This model is an example of how to build a conveyor that has the physics characteristics of a Belt over Roller conveyor.
The base component is a Roller Conveyor with the Collision Type Center set to Cylinder.
The WebPathAnimation system creates a belt material flow over the rollers. The belt material is a stream of thin BoxVisuals with Softness property set to a variable to allow traversing loads to pass through the BoxVisual segments by some amount. The net result is that the loads sink a bit through the BoxVisuals but cannot sink at all through the Rollers, giving a behavior that mimics a belt flexing between rollers when loads are present.
Note: The WebPath ControlPoint (CP1) has a CustomProperty called LoadSoftness that is applied to the Softness of the WebPath material as it is being generated.
