Re: String simulation

  There's an article "Ropes as Constraints" by Anton Knyazyev in Game 
Physics Pearls 
<http://www.amazon.com/Game-Physics-Pearls-Gino-Bergen/dp/1568814747> 
that offers a method for simulating inelastic ropes. It differs from the 
usual Jakobsen Verlet relaxation method in that it solves the rope as a 
single system of rigid components rather than a set of point masses with 
distance constraints that are solved iteratively.
