Wrap soft tissue

The previous step activated ligament interactions with the bones, and this step activates ligament interaction with the cartilage and menisci.

The total time for this step is 0.1 seconds.

Interactions

The interactions from the previous step are still active, and the ligament/tendon interactions with the cartilage and menisci are activated. This step activates the remaining interactions that are being defined for the simulation.

Active interactions between different bodies and structures during the Wrap soft tissue step.
