How to attach a cable to a winch mechanism?
Detailed Description:
Hi all, I’m working on simulating a cable-suspended robot in Isaac Sim and trying to use winches to control the cables.
Right now, I’m stuck on one key point:
🔹 How do I attach a cable to a winch so it can be reeled in or out?
I can create a cable using physics rope components, but I’m not sure how to connect it to a rotating winch mechanism that can control the length of the cable. I’ve tried using joints and constraints but haven’t gotten realistic behavior.
My specific questions:
How can I attach one end of the cable to a rotating winch in Isaac Sim?
Is there a component or method to simulate pulling/releasing the cable length (e.g., a rotating axis or directly adjusting cable length)?
Are there any example scenes (e.g., crane or suspended platform) I can look into?
