Deformable cables, wires and hoses for robot simulation

Linear deformables are the parts of a cell that bend, twist and drape: patch cables in a rack, a wire harness on an assembly line, pneumatic tubing on a machine, a rope tied around a load. They are long and thin, so we model them as elastic rods: a centerline with a radius, bending, twisting and stretch stiffness, and rigid connectors where the real part has them.

Every cable, wire and hose here is modeled by hand to the dimensions of a real part, with connectors built as separate rigid bodies attached to the rod ends. Each one ships as USD with its material parameters set, ready to open in NVIDIA Isaac Sim.

A glimpse of the catalog

This is a glimpse. The full catalog goes further.

We show a sample of each category here. Leave your details and we will email you the full catalog, with every asset, variant and format we deliver.

Physics model

Elastic rod
A centerline curve with a radius, and stiffness in bending, twisting and stretching. Used for cables, wires, hoses and ropes.
Articulated
Rigid links joined by revolute, prismatic or helical joints, with limits, damping and springs where the real object has them.
Cloth
A triangle surface with stretch, shear and bending stiffness and a thickness. Used for towels, sheets and garments.
