i'm working on a project that uses rope physics, where one end is attached to a fixed point, and some position down the rope can be manipulated by the user
the problem is that once the rope is pulled tight, the segments start displaying a wild jittering behavior
the rope system i'm using appears to consist of various rigid bodies joined together with hinge joints, and i would like to be able to detect when tension is applied to the rope in order to prevent this jitter and instead "slide" the rope down the user's hand, in order to do so i can't use velocity, as the user's pulling force and the tensile force cancel out, leaving only the jitter as noise, which is exactly what i'm trying to prevent (preferably before it's very noticeable)
so in the end my question is:
is there a way to do one of the following:
1. read tension on joints?
2. forces applied to joints?
3. forces applied to rigid bodies?
