Need Advice for creating a Crimping Animation of Metallic wires

[talhaSV3QS]

I am trying to create an animation, where metallic lug is inserted on a cable core. Further, i am crimping the Lug. Purpose of Crimping is that the wires are pressed and fixed in place. When crimping first the Lug is pressed, (this part of animation i got covered, i used morph to transform the lug before to the shape it will have after the crimp) after that as a result of lug being pressed the wires inside will be pressed. But, since there are a lot of wires and each one of them should deform due to the pressure. I am unable to figure out, how to do this part. I am attaching video of my current 3d model.

Also, attached are 2 links of actual crimping processes, how it actually works

Below attached is the picture that shows inside of the Crimped lug.

Do you actually have to show the wires inside being compressed or are you just trying to keep them from poking out once the morph finishes and the final lug shape is achieved?

Thanks for the reply.

I want to show the wires being compressed realistically. Since, i will show a cut-out section of lug later on to show the wires being compressed.

Ok, that makes a big difference. Can you upload one wire, crimp and the morphs? I'd like to play with it.

You could put an FDD Box modifier on the bundle of wires and crush them to match the inside shape of the crushed crimp. Then to your standard Morpher again.
