Hi everyone!

I am trying to accurately model the motion of a string attached to a pulley and a crank. I am currently modelling on MSC Adams but I am running into problems that seem difficult to solve. Is there any good software specifically for string/rope modelling? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know about any software meant specifically for such purposes but a good Finite Element Analysis code with nonlinear dynamics capabilities should help you. Personally, I would choose Abaqus for this task but there are also many other options.

Hello. I also want some help
"Physical modeling of prepared strings

Preparation is based on mathematical modeling of 2 basic elements; strings which can be configured as bars, and a rattling element. Each voice has a pair of strings connected by a rattle that reacts to the vibrations at each end. This uses the latest research in collision modeling to calculate the acoustic system in real-time. The strings have parameters for nonlinearity, inharmonicity, sustain, and tone. The rattle has controls for the mass at each end, the gap from the strings, the stiffness, edginess, strength, and its position. A low shelf EQ, overdrive, and reverb units complete the signal chain, giving a wide range of sounds from cutting leads to epic soundscapes."
