The ALE beam model consists of reference degrees and overlaid deformations. In this video the overlaid degrees of freedom are deactivated which only leaves the possibility to move in the reference configuration. This example shows the reference motion for a continuously variable transmission, specifically the ring-package of a pushbelt. One can clearly see that beam oscillates like a pendulum around a minimal energy position.
