Help Obi Rope mass ratio

[josemendez]

Can you just explain max bending and max compression parameters to me?
Thanks

Sure,

maxBending determines the maximum amount of bending that the rope can undergo before it starts resisting bending. The higher the value, the more the rope can bend before it actively resists bending. Now, how strongly it will resist bending once it's past the max bending threshold is determined by the bending compliance parameter.

So if you set both the max bending and bending compliance at zero, the rope will resist any amount of bending as strongly as the solver settings allow for it.

maxCompression is similar, but for distance constraints. It determines the maximum amount of compression (shortening) distance constraints can undergo before they start working against it. It's expressed as a percentage of their rest length, so if you set maxCompression to zero, the rope will resist any compression, if you set it to 1, it will not resist compression at all.

These are explained in the bending constraints manual page and the distance constraints manual page respectively, pasting links here for your convenience:

let me know if I can be of further help,

kind regards
