Can We Model Something Like a Thread / Wire Rope (Flexible) in Unigraphics?

Hi All,
Is there any way i can design a thread like thing such as wire rope and give properties to it in Unigraphics?
Please guide me how to do it as well.
Your help much appreciated.
Regards
TriOZ

Tordado,
It would have a way of modelling it in NX3. but i do not know how to make it. Flexible modelling is all i want to do rather than dealing with compressive or tensile stress. I am not designing it for any analysis ... but interested in kinematics of it. Plz guide me if u know.....

Drawing a path and extruding a circle or several circles that would twist to follow that path then applying a surface texture to it will give you a representative rope.
It now depends on what you call "properties" what exactly do you wish the "rope" to do???

Thanks merc600sec,
I am modelling a rope/belt and pulley system. I know only basics of unigraphics. With that i want to design a drive system and see how it works. could you please let me know how to model and give constraints.
