Scripting Help – Force Reaction Generation for Weak Springs

      Hello,

      I have been going around in circles a bit with this - can't find an answer on google, ChatGPT reckons it's not possible, and the html lists don't display weak springs as anything other thatn an input.

      What i would like to do is have my script create a force reaction and assign weak springs to it if it's present. I just can't seem to find an object to call up for it. 

      Does it exist?

      Cheers

      Joe

      Hi Erik,

      I believe that the post you linked gives results for springs (the conneciton) rather than "weak springs", the system balancing reaction. 

      What is the syntax for the weak springs? 

      Thanks

      Joe
