      Can SP simulate cables and strings? I want to simulate a simple linear drive but dont know how to make a cable/flexible line track from a rotating arm around a pivot and to a spring. The attached model is not functioning but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do. Any help is appreciated.

        Hello.
        I made a model of what I think you wanted.

          Thanks for making the machine work. Great job! My question is more about if cables can be simulated and how to go about it...especially around pivots and pulleys.
