Dear,
How to simulate the manufacturing of cable components that are continuous ?
Raw materials are coils of different cables that are a few hundred meters long. These cables are processed, assembly and then cut on smaller coils as finished goods.
Many thanks for feedback

@Francis This depends on what detail you want to do the visualization. If you know how many small coils you can make from one 1 big coil and you know how much time it takes to create a small coil you can make a very simple model (either Process Flow or 3D) to model this.
Showing a big coil, a cable and a small coil is also not that difficult. Actually the cable doesn't change and the big coil gets a small diameter over time and the small coil gets a bigger diameter over time until it is full and then the diameter is small again. Creating an animated coil is simply having a cylinder with the diameter as function of time on the drawtrigger.
