The idea behind the final thesis is to produce a numerical model and video simulation, which will serve as a pedagogical tool for easier understanding of the operation of the silent chains. This implementation was done in the Python program environment and the results are shown in the diagrams of the matplotlib software package. It is evident from the simulation, that the chain has a polygon effect and it is noticeable that shape of the teeth is not constant. Hence its characteristic is silent chain. The numerical model is designed as widely and transparently as possible for further upgrading.
