Help  Difficulty with rope and forces when attached to cloth

Force zones have a special consideration for cloth (and fluids): they're considered wind sources, and aerodynamic constraints are used. The strength of the wind force is modulated by the aerodynamic constraint's drag and lift parameters, which take into account the shape of the cloth and its orientation relative to the wind direction, in addition to its mass. For instance, this drag/lift model is what allows flags to undulate instead of simply stretching straight in the direction of the wind.

Ropes however do not use a specific aerodynamic model, so they do not have any aerodynamic parameters unlike cloth and their reaction to external forces only depends on mass.

In practice: try increasing the drag and lift coefficients of your cloth until it reacts in a way similar to the rope, then lower the force zone strength until both ropes and cloth behave the way you want.

Interesting. Thank you for the response, that makes sense.
