Ropes and Pulleys

Hello,


I would like to have a spring tension (or translational motor force) transmitted around two pulleys to a hard point. The pulleysare fixed to two rigid bodiesattached viaa pin connection such that a tensioned rope contacting the pulleys creates a torque on the connection.


A chain would be one way to go about it, I suppose, but it isn't a solution that I would prefer (wouldn't all the chain connections slow down the motion simulation considerably?).Might there bea programmatic way of simulating that situation?


Thanks!
