Help Fixing particle causes slight "jump"?

[josemendez]

Hi,

Thanks for the swift reply!

If i understand your answers correctly, my current approach will not work for what i am trying to achieve?
If i have to "lock" particles for performance reasons, and i cant "lock" them without the bending constraint straightening the cable - this will not work.

Yes, it should work fine as long as particles are locked in the same position they're at prior to locking them, and resolution is high enough that it approximates a continuous cable well enough.

Now, if you need the cable bending to be kept to a minimum (very stiff cable) and at the same time reduce discretization issues to a minimum, these are at odds with each other since more particles means more work to keep the cable stiff.

Could you share the code you're currently using to lock particles in place, so that I may take a look to spot any potential problems?

kind regards,
