Modelling Rope or String

Hi All,
I would like to how anybody would tackle modelling a piece of rope or string to go through each eyelet and then around the bar and then throught the next eyelet?
The main issue would be using that to two parts come together in the assembly, maybe there is a fecture script which somebody could suggest but not sure how it intergrated in the assembly.
Any hekp you be greatly appricated.

Has anyone modelled a real looking rope? Or is that something left more for programs like Zbrush or Rhino?
Thank you for your help.

For a parametric modeler like Onshape it would probably be best to just apply a texture or decal for the appearance.

A realistic rope is probably best left to software that's focused on visuals and let Onshape be for manufacturing data. If you absolutely must do it in Onshape for some reason, here's a passable way, but the regeneration time ain't pretty.
