Hi John,

I have looked at the file closely, so we cannot open the tape and wrap it at the same time around the pipe while maintaining the same motion path of the tape backwards as in the attached file, because the path of the tape when it is wrapped around the pipe at some point when it approaches an angle of 180 degrees this path intersects with the line that connects the head of the tape with the source of the tape as in the attached screenshot below, so we have two options either to make the tape rotate around the pipe or to make the tube rotate so that it seems to wrap the tape around itself, please tell me which of the two options is most suitable for you and I will be happy To help you get it done right

Thanks

I ended up coming up with a solution(meant to post this a while back and never got to it. I ended up moving my initial rolled up bend on the x coordinate, while having the bend around the pipe come on with a linear ramp from the opposite direction. It wasn’t perfect as the 2nd bend distorts the tape roll a bit, but was good enough to satisfy the client.

I never thought of rotating the tube, if you don’t mind, I would love to see your solution to this-just to have another way to do it in the future.

Thanks

Johnny

Hello again john, this is the source file for the second solution, I didn’t upload it before because I wanted to fix some things, but I didn’t find the time, so I decided to upload it as it is, maybe someone will complete it for everyone to benefit from.

Thanks
