manipulating constraints in a wire simulation

Hello,

I would like to constrain a RBD object to one of the wires in the attached simulation. I have tried using several different kinds of constraints but nothing really does what I want. I simply want to add an object to the end of one of the wires that will act as a weight and affect the movement of the wire.

Also, is there a way to attach the constraints to a point on a piece of geometry rather than an arbitrary point in space? Really enjoy working with wires in Houdini but need a bit of help to take things to the next level.

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

You should read this thread, I think it's pretty close to want you looking for :

To contraint a wire to a point on a geometry see the (very simple) attached file.
