Splice Simulator

A 3D rope laid open into its strands, with the tucks of an eye splice or a short splice worked one at a time and a running count of what has been done.

Parameters

Splice type

Construction

Diameter (mm)

Tucks completed

Readout

The retention readout tracks the tuck count — three tucks and five tucks are visibly different numbers.

0 OF 5 TUCKS

∞ HOW TO WORK IT

Step by step

Unlay the end and tape the strands.
Form the eye to the size you want.
Tuck each strand over one and under one.
Repeat, tapering the strands as you go.
Roll the splice to settle it, then load it gently.

This is an educational model with simplified geometry and physics. Results are indicative only and are not a rating, a certification or a substitute for the equipment instructions. Never rely on a simulation for a real lift, a real splice or a real load.
