Hi,
    I used O.D.E as foundation to develop a 'thread /
rope' which can knot. The simulation uses a
hahapticevice to control one end point of the thread
to produce force feedback (Using
dFdFixedJointonstraint / Spring damper). 

The videos/images are here:

On a Dual XeXeonachine the physics frame rate is about
300Hz. That's a lot.

 Rewriting some part of the ODE routines with assembly
language(MMMMXwill certainly boost the frame rate.
Especially matrix operations.
 
 Best Wishes & Thanks to the ODE community.
