    • Number of rotations: The computation stops once this number is reached. Must be an integer.
    • Angle (rotation direction)
    • Tool Type: Select the tool that the airbag will be rolled around. This can be either a flat strip (width) or a cylinder (diameter).
      • Width/Diameter: Width or diameter of the strip or the cylinder, respectively.
