Summary Variables
The Nip Roller S-Wrap component models a pair of rollers, a nip and a roller, in which the web wraps around and through the rollers.
The Nip Roller S-Wrap component must be between two Span components.
The Nip Roller S-Wrap pulls the web without slippage using 1D rotational flange flangec1 or flangec2 under torque or velocity control.
The Nip Roller S-Wrap is similar to the Nip Roller component; the difference is in the tangent points and the web path between the two rollers.
Consider the two rollers shown below:
Assume the web velocity goes through a discontinuous change at the b (right) boundary.
