How the math works
- Winch pull comes from the drum layer the rope is leaving. Rope paid out = length of the routed rope; what's left on the drum sets the layer, and the layer table sets the pull.
- Friction: every snatch block the rope runs through cuts the tension on the next leg by the friction %.
- Block load = vector sum of the rope legs on that block. Parallel legs (180° fold) ≈ 2× tension; wider angles carry less.
- Anchor / stump load = vector sum of every rope end and block strap on it. Stump pull is the size of that resultant. Effective MA = stump pull ÷ winch line pull.
- Rope WLL = minimum breaking strength ÷ your safety factor. Anchor ratings are rough rules of thumb unless you enter your own.
- Colors: green under 80% of the rating, yellow 80–100%, red over.
