Hi All,
I'm trying to build a setup for a telephone cable with adjustable twist and offset. But under some circumstances/some settings I have a “jiggle” on some spirals.
How can I avoid this, without modifying the settings in the
Wire Object to much.
Many thanks for any help :-)

try to increase the substeps, first on the wire solver, from 2 to 6 and see what happen.
if this not work go back to 2 substeps in the wire solvers,

and and put more subteps in the dop node, in case you are using other objects for collision.

Hi pelos,
many thanks for having a look at it. Increasing the substeps does not solve the jiggle problem, even 10 substeps not.
Maybe my problem is, that the wire is simulated before the twist is added.
If I can solve the problem, I'll post it :-)
