PhysX Glue Test: Distance Binding Rollout

Breakability group

Breakable By Overstretch - When on, a Distance binding can be broken if the length of the binding (distance between anchors) exceeds the specified value. Note that in certain circumstances a simulation cannot keep bindings at the Maximum Distance Limits; Distance bindings can overstretch.

Breakable By Overstretch is kind of a safeguard to release the bindings if the conditions do not allow the bindings to keep their Maximum Distance parameters.

Maximum Distance Limit - The distance at which a binding can be broken, in absolute or relative terms. This value is typically greater than the corresponding Maximum Distance Limit value (see preceding).

  • Absolute - The absolute distance at which a binding can be broken, in world units.

  • Relative % - The maximum separation distance (beyond which the bond can break) as relative to the binding length (distance between anchors) at the moment of binding. This value is typically greater than 100%.
