A New Cable-Pulley Algorithm in RFEM
A New Cable-Pulley Algorithm in RFEM
Abstract
The cable-pulley system is widely used for its advantages. In this paper, application of a new algorithm for the calculation of cables on pulleys is presented. Unlike other algorithms, this algorithm enables to take the magnitude of the radius of each pulley into account. This new algorithm is implemented in the RFEM
program because of its higher accuracy and efficiency. Comparison of the commonly used algorithm, which
ignores pulley radius, and the new algorithm is presented. The cable-pulley system is widely used for its advantages.
