F.E.M. stretch using constraints


Waasha

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I am currently learning F.E.M. (after avoiding it for years :) ) and I would like to pin few points of a solid object to an animated position.

I saw there is a number of methods (using targetP, targetV, ...) but I was unable to make them work.. The Follow Target shelf tool on Solid shelf works weird, it asks only for the constrained object (my solid object), then for the constrained points (I select them on the solid object), but that's all! It doesn't ask for the object to actually follow!

For the sake of simplicity - I created this simple test with two animated spheres and I would like the solid object between them to be stretched (the points of the solid object, that intersect with the spheres should be constrained to the animation of the spheres). I deleted all the "non-working" failed constrained nodes to make it clean.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Big thanks for any help!
