Back me, I'd deform the chains to a patch - or use a texture if you can get away with it - then envelope the patch to a few chains, animate the chains. I'm not convinced that push ops wouldn't look a bit stretchy.

In your case, a chain grid texture applied on a fine enough polygon grid or a patch surface should do the trick. Then animate with something like a push operator and a weight map.

Hi All, I have something to simulate and I don't know how to do it. I have a wall of chain attached to a tilting furnaces http://www.cegertec.qc.ca/images/chain_wall.JPG (like this). I don't have acces to the cloth module cause I have XSI Essential only not Advanced. Is there a way to animate this and be pretty sure that the result I have is not so far from what is going to happen in the real world ???? Pretty big expectation I know ......
