Can the soft body material be updated live?

Try changing the values in m_materials[0] via service.

Try to apply force to node in string:

rostopic pub /bullet_server/add_impulse  bullet_server/Impulse "{body: 'strand', impulse: {z: 10000.0}, soft_body: true, node_only: true, node_ind: 5}"  -1

The string is so taut a very large force is needed.
