Wires and cables

The above video shows our wire simulation technologies in action. AgX wires are fast enough for demanding realtime simulators and yet the models have high physical accuracy and are stable under extreme loads and mass ratios. The resolution is adaptive and depends on load and curvature. Wires can be tuned to represent ropes, wires and chains with realistic material parameters.

Realistic and highly advanced wires

This enables simulation of realistic and highly advanced wire systems involving sources, drains, eyes, chasers, drums and pulleys for applications ranging from surgery simulation of suture to anchor handling in a ship simulator and wires of a crane simulator, or perhaps Tarzan swinging in vines in your latest feature film.

Wire and cable examples

The following example shows a wire being rotated and twisted around itself, and the second example shows 21 cables being twisted around each other.
