A joint will break if the force, acting on the connection, exceeds “@ Max “Max force”. With this option enabled, it is often difficult to find a working → “@ Max force” value. Better results can be achieved with “Break if distance exceeded”.
...
It is advised to enable this option if you can see constraint effects between nodes which should be completely separated. An example: Some bricks of a wall stick together, because not all joints are broken. Those hinged bricks can be separated with this option. The broken joints limit is defined under “@ Unbroken “Unbroken number to break all”
...
Unbroken number to break all
If the number of broken joints is reached by a particular pair of linked bodies, all remaining connections between them will be broken. Other links in the MultiJoint will not be affected.
...
This is the most effective and reliable method for your work with force limits and breaking joints. With the associated “@ Break “Break distance” you can define a distance at which a joint will break.
...
Break distance
If the given distance between tow joints is exceeded, the connection is broken. This value is given metres.
...
Break distance random
The actual value will be between 0 and the given positive value. This value is given in metres and the total distance is calculated this way: Total distance = @ Break distance + @ Break distance random
