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

The videos/images are here:


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

 Rewriting some part of the ODE routines with assembly
language (MMX) will certainly boost the frame rate.
Especially matrix operations.

 Best Wishes & Many Thanks to the ODE community.
