Help Ways to reduce rope tunneling through meshes

[whack]

That's roughly what distance fields do: have you tried them?:

Keep in mind that mass ratios still have a great effect of convergence: large mass ratios are the bane of iterative solvers like Obi, so they should be avoided at all costs. Large mass ratios will require more substeps to converge, making the simulation costlier. As a rule of thumb, no very heavy objects hanging from a light rope. If the mass ratio between them is larger than 1:10, either make the object lighter or the rope heavier.

I could have sworn I'd read the entire docs, but I guess this is why you shouldn't read technical documents as a sleeping aid LOL

I think the combination of distance fields and adjusting the weights should do the trick. Thanks!
