Abstract
Shapeable materials of interest are modeled with a rectangular mesh having N columns and M rows of substantially similar shell elements. The shapeable materials of interest are held in tension between a sink and a source. A column of fictitious elements is added to make the mesh wrapped-around continuous. The fictitious elements are marked as inactive, while other elements are marked as active. As the simulation moves on, the active elements are marched in the product producing direction of the machinery. When a pre-defined distance has traveled in the simulation the present invention performs the following:
