Summary Variables
The Unwind Drum Two Webs component models simultaneous unwinding of two webs with variable roll radius and inertia.
The Unwind Drum component must be at the start of two web lines.
Using the provided 1D rotational flange (flangec) the component can be equipped with a motor.
Consider the drum shown below

The roll inertia consists of the core inertia, Jc, and the approximate roll variable inertia, J⁡t:
J⁡t=Jc+π2⁢λ^⁢R⁡t4−Rc4
where
λ^=W1⁢ρ1⁢th1+W2⁢ρ2⁢th2th1+th2
Roll Radius
The time-varying roll radius is given by the following differential equations:
When Use stepwise is false, the effective roll radius is given by
dR⁡tdt=−ω⁢th1+th22⁢π
with the following initial value:
R⁡0=12⁢Dinit+th1+th2
The radii of the layers are calculated as
R1⁡t=R⁡t−th22
R2⁡t=R⁡t+th12
When Use stepwise is true, the effective roll radius is given by
dR⁡tdt={−ω⁢th1+th2δφ0<φ<δφ0otherwise
where φ is the rotation of the drum between 0 and 2⁢π and the roll radius decreases only over a portion of each turn defined by the merge angle δφ.
We also have the following initial value
The radii of the layers are now calculated as
