Trying to fix ellipsoid wrapping #8

Description

First I analyzed whether some existing models (e.g. arm23) could work if I replaced cylinders with ellipsoids. This seems to be possible. The wrapping part was very short however.

I started debugging the code; found that if the connection point between point1 and point2 does not go through the cylinder, then no wrapping takes place!

Original code:
ellipse_wrapping_original

Forcing point1 and point2 to be above and below the cylinder (which understandably always forces wrapping and which leaves the wrapping section of the first iteration constant throughout the simulation)
ellipse_wrapping_forced

Geometric method:
ellipse_wrapping_geometric

ellipse_wrapping_geometric_approach
