How to simulate a elastic stick?

Scripting Issues
1

How can I simulate the collision between a elastic stick and a soft body?

After collision, the stick would turn to be arc.

Is there any demo?

Thanks for any suggestion~~~

I think looking through these examples you will have an idea.

Thanks for kindly reply. The 21_SoftbodyRope is similar to a elastic stick. But, how can I set the stiffness coefficient for the rope?

In fact, I would have done it differently. Created several segments from solids, such as capsules, and would connect them with a spherical constraint. Accordingly, I would further adjust the rotation restriction and stiffness. Visualization can be done through the bones of the skeleton by attaching a capsule to each bone.
