How to animate paper wrapping around rollers?

[Standing]

Chris cninneman,
I am trying to animate paper wrapping around rollers. I was trying to use Flex to accomplish this without any luck and the SolidWorks help manual does not seem to explain how to do something like wrapping paper.
I also tried equations to change the wrap as I moved the paper through a set of offset rollers. My boss told me I was taking to much time for what he needed, so the project is at a stop unless someone comes up with an easy answer.
We are now using SolidWorks 2005 SP0.1

The web page that CorBlimeyLimey pointed you to, is probably going to be far better than anything I could cough up. I could be wrong, but I think you're right the flex command is not going to help in this situation. I was told that Flex was designed more toward flexible parts, a shifter boot, was the example I was given. Sorry I can't be of much help.
