I've got both ends constrained to a deforming geo that is fast moving. I'm getting alot of unwanted stretching. It sims fine with collisions. How would I get rid of the stretching so that wire maintains is original point distances.

Thanks

Elasticity set to 200000 did the trick.

Wow from 0 to 200000 before it worked. :roll: Maybe the default should reflect a higher number or maybe the docs.

it's not only that parameter which is determinig the stretching of the wire
it depends on many factors, you can also reduce density/mass or reduce width to acheive similar results with lower linear spring constant
also Adjust For length parameter helps to preserve length

keep in mind that if you have width attribute on your wire geometry prior to the simulation, this attribute will be used as a multiplier to the width parameter in physical tab of the wire object, which can affect the whole behavior

Cool thanks!
