S-Wrap Rollers
S-Wrap configuration with two rollers
Description

Connections
Parameters
The S-Wrap Rollers component models a pair of pull rollers in an S-Wrap configuration.
The S-Wrap Rollers component must be between two Span components.
The rollers can be driven with 1-D rotational flanges flangec1 and flangec2.
The S-Wrap Rollers component is constructed from two Roller components and one Span component as shown below.
