Description

Definition of a continuous band track assembly.

A track assembly consists of a sprocket, an idler (with tensioner mechanism), a set of suspensions (road-wheel assemblies), and a collection of track shoes. This is the base class for continuous band track assembly using rigid tread. Derived classes specify the actual template defintions, using different track shoes.
