Dear author: In the paper of Direct Position-based Slover for Stiff Rods,I am very interested in the deformation of the elastic rod under the action of torsion. I would like to ask how to realize the simulation in the picture based on this code.thank you! image

This is a stiff elastic rod and at one end a motor is attached. However, I think so far nobody had the time to integrate the rods collision detection code of the paper in the library.
