Detailed Description

PathChain implements continuous chain-driven transport systems following complex path networks.

This component enables simulation of chain conveyors, power-and-free systems, and circular transport loops where the chain follows a closed path through multiple connected SimulationPath segments. Automatically calculates total chain length from connected path elements and manages continuous movement around the circuit, making it ideal for overhead conveyors, assembly line carriers, and continuous material flow systems in automotive, electronics, and heavy industry applications.
