How do I create tangent forces on two pulleys instead of using ADAMS machinery?

asheshshrestha
Say I have two arms with a revolute joint in between them. At the end of two arms are two pulleys which has a belt.
 
Is it possible to create a tangent action and reaction force at each pulley (no slip) so that there is no need to create belt/chain and all complex calculations that come with it. Can it be modeled without using ADAMS machinery?

    Basically you can imagine A/view as a graphical front end that collects your input and then creates commands to sent to the "kernel".
    Unfortunately the joint creation dialogue in A/View usually creates new markes instead of using existing ones.
    Check out the .cmd file. That's the necessary commands.
    You can pack portions of it into a separate .cmd and read it with F2 to see what happens.
     
    If you click something in the GUI, you'll find that command running trough the command window (press F3) or in the aview.log file that's in your working directory.
     
    The answers on how to create parts, markers, joints and outlines is in that code.
    Spend a few days on try&error with that methods and you'll gain a better understanding on what happens behind the curtains in A/View.
     
    Concerning #3: Haven't got exactly in mind how it worked, but as far as I remember that "contact point" didn't "stay at the tangent point", but wandered along the tangent.
    But that didn't matter in my case as I only needed the right torque and reaction force a the roll center bearing.
