while experimenting with rods, I came along this "stair" effect (see attachments)


Question is: how to get rid of the "stairs"?

Cheers,

Hi Christian,

This is because in sequential mode, constraints are grouped in batches to be able to simulate them in different threads.
Switch the bend/twist and/or stretch/shear constraints to parallel mode. This will somewhat hurt convergence, but you can make up for that by using more substeps or iterations. See:

Also, this post by DissidentDan is related (his point #3):
