Locked and Meshed Layer Slip

The prediction of wire slip for locked and meshed helical wires has been improved to include friction forces at all wire contact points during FEA of a bent cable. Previously, only contact forces at the layer inner and outer diameters were used to determine wire slip.

Static and kinetic friction coefficients are now defined as material properties instead of as layer loads.
