I'm using simulink and I saw that "belt pulley" block allows to analyze flat and V-belts. Is it possible to analyze timing belts too?
How can I do?
I am using this example: sdl_power_window
MATLAB: Timing belt pulley (Simulink)

There is this FileExchange submission which provides an extensive library for contact force modeling in Simscape Multibody. You can refer to Examples on given link to get started.
Hi Morgan,
The Cycloidal Drive block is a SimDriveline block, which means it connects directly to other Simscape mechanical blocks (but not to SimMechanics). The reason is that SimMechanics uses a separate 3-D mechanical domain, while Simscape/SimDriveline is all 1-D rotation OR 1-D translation.
The way you connect Simscape blocks to a SimMechanics block is to place them along a joint primitive. There's a submission on the File Exchange which shows how you can do this.
Using the blocks from the above submission, you can interface your Simscape rotational domain with a SimMechanics revolute primitive as shown below.
