Abstract
A method and apparatus for simulating the manner in which a ribbon of known profile is wrapped around a carcass of known profile in accordance with a predetermined winding specification is disclosed. The profile of the ribbon, the profile of the carcass and the winding specification are stored in a memory together with the desired final profile of the ribbon build. The profile of the final ribbon build, which will be created at a selected cross-section of the carcass when the ribbon is wrapped around the carcass in accordance with the winding specification, is calculated. The final ribbon build so calculated is displayed on a video display which also displays the desired final profile so that the profile created by the predetermined winding specification can be compared to the actual profile which will be produced by the winding specification.
