In this figure the axial force in the lower most element of Rope 1 is plotted. You can get an indication of how the roller works by watching how the element is lengthened and shortened as a result of beam response. Comparison of axial forces between element A and B of the two rollers also provides an indication of how the roller adjust the lengths to meet the Tolerance criteria set in AquaEdit.
