[QUESTION] Connect rigid bodies with deformable structures?

[touste]

Is it possible to connect two rigid bodies using a deformable structure such as a spring or a soft body? I have gone through the examples but could not find this particular scenario.

Thank you!

Hi @touste,

We currently don't provide this functionality out of the box. You would need to implement the coupling forces/constraints yourself, e.g. based on the existing implementation on particle-based spring attachments or FEM soft-body simulation we provide for example in integrator_euler.py.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I will investigate this possibility, although this will be more involved if the connection axis does not go through the center of mass of the rigid bodies. Is this feature planned in future development?
