Create A Simple Driver | Blender Drivers Master Class
Why Blender Stack Exchange recommends it
Blender Stack Exchange answerers point people to it as a quick beginner introduction to drivers when an animation or rigging question can be solved by driving one property from another.

What it is
A short Blender tutorial from Level Pixel Level showing how to create a simple driver, part of the Blender Drivers Master Class series. It covers a basic setup and workflow that later videos in the series reuse.

Have you tried adding a driver to your z rotation axis? I would start by adding a driver on the z- rotation of your mobius strip. Create an empty object, and animate it going up on the z-axis or something, and use that as your drivers input variable. This should work if you only need to rotate on the z-axis. Here's a video for a quick look at drivers: enter link description here [this video] Aaand here's the docs if you really want to dive in: Blender Driver Docs [LINK] I took your mobius blend file and applied this method: [LINK] Hope this helps!

maybe check out some beginner driver tutorials like this one: [this video] after that my answer is hopefully easier to understand

Unfortunately what you're asking about is a very broad and difficult topic and there isn't a very straightforward answer for Blender. I myself have done some research on it for team projects and can share what I have found. Modeling muscle deformations is no easy task in 3D software. Large studios such as Pixar will often run complex simulations that account for elasticity and the like to create realistic forms. Blender doesn't natively support these capabilities, at least not to the extent of realism that these studios have. There are (often expensive) add-ons available, such as X-Muscle System [LINK] , which can run physical simulations for organic tissue. You could also write python scrip
