Hi everyone!

I am trying to model a string made of wool in MSC Adams. I have used the 'Discrete Flexible Link' option in the Bodies tab. It is supposed to start at the end of a crank and go around a pulley. I have been able to make this so far.

However, I want the string to wrap around the pulley before ending at the desired point, instead of going straight to the endpoint, something like this.

I can add multiple markers on the pulley and then model different strings between two markers, but I believe it won't give accurate results. Is there any way to model a single string following the path mentioned above?

Thanks!
