Have to do freefall of a ball, witch is conected with a rope. rope is 15meter length and one of rope end's is fixed... have to see how a ball is hanging after fall, and how affect the rope.. any sugestions? Thanks

Animation is ok, but what about rope analysis? Calculating elongation, strength, ect..?
That is very complex, because the material/structure shows very anisotropic behaviour.
If loading is (mostly) pure tensile, you can do it with some assumptions.
What about this situation: ( https://www.google.lt/search?q=rope+jumping&rlz=1C1ASUC_enLT637LT637&espv=2&biw=2560&bih=1281&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&… ) posible to calculate forces and stress at the end of the rope (on carabiners) ?
If Yes, give me a hint
Thanks
I would day that the material that you use for the rope is hyperelastic. So you should use non-linear static or maybe even non-linear dynamics.
The assumption that you will have to make is if the cross-section is homogenous, or that you use a braided material. I guess the used material is braided and not homogenous.
If it is braided the simulation is very complex and time consuming, due to complex non-linear contacts and large deformations occuring.
So if you are not a very experienced user of simulation, maybe this will become to compex for you.
