Can anyone tell me how to model the cables in a bloc and tackle assembly?You know; flexible components that wind around cylinders and respond to changing configurations of the assembly.
As an example, here is a model of a robot worm to test a linkage concept for mechanical replication of reptation.
Also, I would appreciate it if some of you were to venture an estimate on how many man hours it normally requires to build this model and do the animation when you actually know what you are doing. Just to get an idea if we are near the ball park.
