Deformable single insulated wire

A deformable single insulated wire that bends and keeps its new shape, modeled as a plastic rod for panel wiring and crimping tasks.

Also called hookup wire, insulated copper wire or electrical wire.

Elastic rod

Delivered as USD for NVIDIA Isaac Sim

How is the deformable single insulated wire modeled?

Unlike a cable, a solid copper wire keeps the shape you bend it into. We model it as a rod with a plastic bending limit: small bends spring back, larger ones set a new rest shape.

Gauge sets the radius, mass and stiffness. Stranded wire has a lower yield and springs back less, and the stripped end is a short bare section with its own radius.

Which parts of the deformable single insulated wire deform?

Wire
Bends elastically, then holds a new shape past its limit
Stripped end
Bare conductor section for crimp and terminal tasks

What ships in the USD?

One USD file per variant, with the render mesh, the simulation geometry and a physics material bound to it. Every value is set and named, so you can open it in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and run your task, or read the numbers into your own solver from the material JSON.

  • Elastic rod. A centerline curve with a radius, and stiffness in bending, twisting and stretching. Used for cables, wires, hoses and ropes.

Where is it used?

  • Wiring a control panel
  • Inserting a wire into a terminal block
  • Crimping and stripping

Industries: Manufacturing, Electronics, Automotive

Questions

Which simulators does the deformable single insulated wire open in?

It ships as USD for NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Newton. We also deliver MJCF for MuJoCo and Genesis, a GLB mesh, and a JSON file with every material value.

Can it be matched to our real object?

Yes. Send us a sample, a drawing or a few photos and we set size, stiffness and friction to match your part.

How do we get it?

Choose your simulator, format and variant, then tell us where to send it. We prepare the files and email them to you.
