Bridge Constraint
Pro Feature
Pro features are only available with a Professional licence. Starter licences can evaluate most Professional features via the Try Pro button at the top of the Viewport. To upgrade, visit cavalry.scenegroup.co.
Intro
Connect Shapes together to form chains or bridge structures in a Forge Dynamics simulation.
UI
Stretch - Determine how much the Constraint stretches. A higher value will result in more elastic looking result.
Frequency (Hz) - A higher value will give the spring more bounce.
Damping Ratio - A higher value will bring the spring to a rest more quickly.
Breakable - When enabled, the Constraint can be broken by other forces.
Breaking Force - Set the amount of force required to break the Constraint.
- Add pins to the Constraint.
Pins
- Mode:
- Off - Disable the Constraint.
- Pin - Pin the position of the specified index.
- Transform - Pin the position of the specified index to a transform.
- Pinned Index - Set the index to be pinned. The strings
first
orlast
can be used to dynamically set the first and last Id when using a Sub-Mesh (e.g. Duplicator) as a Body. Alternatively, entering values here will pin the corresponding Id. - Transform - Connect a Shape to set the Pin's position and rotation values.
- Limit Rotation - Limit the Constraint's rotation.
- Rotational Limits - Set an upper (
U
) and lower (L
) angle to clamp the Constraint's rotation.
