Simply disable the ObiRope component (just the component, not the whole object), but keep the renderer enabled.

- Describing where is the rope in the hierarchy in relation to the solver.
- Are you using particle tearing?
- Are you dynamically resizing the rope using cursors?
- Are you creating/destroying attachments at runtime?
- What are your blueprint settings? (resolution, thickness, pool size)
- What are your solver settings? (sleep threshold, constraints, etc)
- How are collisions set up (type and placement of colliders, their thickness, etc)

Just more info on how you're using the system. A simple screenshot of the rope isn't enough to work with.


Disabling ObiRope will prevent any physics calculations. You'll end up with just a rendered mesh.

Try using something smaller, like 0.0001.

Also, don't use so many constraint iterations unless you've got a good reason. In most cases, using 1 iteration and multiple substeps (4-6) will conserve energy better and result in less stretching. See:

Used big sleep to prevent any jittering near colliders...

Would it be possible for me to take a look at your scene? You can send it to support(at)virtualmethodstudio.com and I'll diagnose the problem.


The sample rocker scene uses many iterations in order to obtain a more dampened simulation, while still reducing stretching. Usually you want more lively results, so it's best to use substeps for adjusting overall look and then fine-tune each constraint type using iterations.

How the simulation works and how iterations/substeps affect it is explained in the manual in great detail:

I need sollid connection of cable with plug and coffeeMachine, and good collision with table and floor...

I know what's the cause- I copied existed rope and just put new transforms into components- and this causing tyhis behaviours- needed create new components and there put parameters...
