Normally if a wire is constrained to an RBD, the rbd isn't affected by the wire at all. Which is annoying ... but I had an idea to get it to work. the wire solver can store the internal forces on the geometry. In DOPs I made a point force, the position is set to the position of the constraint and the force is the wire's internal (linear) force. I have put a sopnet in the dopnet to get the wire and the constrained point so I can reference them in the point force. It could be simpler with a python expression to get the position and force directly without going through the sopnet, but this is just a little test...
For multiple attachment points, I think a copy data node could be uses to copy the point force data for each constrained point ...

Back in houdini 8 (and 9 maybe), this worked out of the box with just a rbd constraint >.< With the new solvers, stuff like rbd/cloth mutual interaction doesn't work.
