real stiffness

If this parameter is set, the mobility used is

mobility = 1.0 / ( stiffness * sp->time_step );

Which effectively correspond to the maximum mobility possible, given times_step.

The stiffness needs to be set from the link stiffness, and from the mobility of the other link. Generally:

  1. = link-stiffness if the Hand is part of a Single, or if it is the only slider in a Couple
  2. = 2 * link-stiffness if the Hand is part of a Couple made of two Slider
