Help  Rope not affected by gravity
#3
Many thanks for your prompt reply.



Quote:Obi is a rather large engine, aimed at intermediate-advanced developers. So it's not uncommon to struggle with it at first, specially if you don't have a fair bit of experience with physics simulation. Rest assured that over time you'll get the hang of it, and I'm here to help.


Yeah, I wish I had done may PhD in physical sciences now



Quote:In your case, chances are the solver's sleep threshold is keeping the rope asleep. The sleep threshold is a kinematic energy threshold (1/2 mv^2) so if the velocity of your rope is small, gravitational acceleration is small, the project's timestep is small, or the mass of the particles is small, the default threshold value will put them to sleep immediately.


Unfortunately, it seems that it is not the sleep threshould. I made it very small and finally set it to zero to test it. No effect.

Could it be that I somehow accidentally disabled gravity for the rope?



And finally: thank you so much for this great support form and your work here. That is really amazing!



Many thanks and best wishes,

Marie
