Wind up a chain

Process Modeling
1

Is it possible to wind a chain in VC?

I have 2 possibilities, one is a rotating table, where the chain is inserted at one point and the table rotates and thus winds up the chain.

or a stationary table with a conveyor system on it, which automatically feeds the chain through and winds it up.

Is this possible in principle? or does it require too many physical and kinematic conditions?

Kind regards

Maybe you could try using paths where the chain links are components that flow along the path?
I made a rough example a while ago of foil winding and looks ok-ish.

Depends on what you would need it for I guess.

Check the example in the attachment. It uses some hiding of links to make it look like it’s being unwound.
