flapping flag is stretching!

March 7, 2009, 15:48

Hi, I am working on a flapping flag and everything is working fine but there is one big problem. This is a 2D simulation. The thing is the flag is stretching and becoming longer and longer. I don't know how to increase its extensional rigidity so that it doesn't stretch. Can anyone please give any advice, ideas what i can do?

Thanks.

do you still have this problem?

How did you setup your simulation? I have been trying for a while but couldn't seems to find the right way to do that.
