Help Mocking a bundle of cables

[billmccrary]

Hello -  just getting started with obi rope, we used obi fluid for a training simulation (epoxy application simulation) and it was just great so thought we'd give the ropes a try for a cable simulation.  We need to simulate 32+ individual cables, sort of like those attached.

What approaches would you suggest?  Some details:

• We don't need collisions, tearing, stretching or anything like that, simply bending (& maybe twisting, TBD)
  
• The cable visual could be fakes somehow, we don't actually need each cable in the above shots to be a separate obi rope object
  
• We only care about this running on Win10 (RTX 3090 + I9 @ 4k)
  

I'll update this thread if I think of other details but just wanted to get the question out there- thank you!
