I need to simulate an interaction between an RJ45 jack and its port. When the jack is pushed toward the port and a collision occurs, they should snap into place, and a fixed joint should be automatically created. Conversely, when pulling the jack or port backward with sufficient force, the fixed joint must be broken/removed to allow disconnection.Help me to achieve this simulation like the attached video.

Hi, do you plan to do this with PhysX or Newton? Please note that Isaac Sim 6.0 also supports Newton as the physics simulation backend, so if you already have a Newton sample, it might be easier for you to upgrade to Isaac Sim 6.0 and run your sample there. For more details on Newton backend support, check out the doc Newton Physics Backend

I am using PhysX and isaac sim 5.1 I gave that video for just reference. I am not using newton and I want the guidance to do the same thing in the isaac sim 5.1

I don’t know what’s your goal, if you just want something like in the video, I would recommend you to study that Newton demo and port it to PhysX. If you have any specific questions, you can open new topics. I am closing this one.
