    - XML Format
      Model ElementReference_DeformCurve specifies a deformable curve that is made to pass through the origins of a specified set of markers, using CUBIC spline interpolation. These markers may be on separate bodies. As the markers move in space, the curve shape is recalculated using CUBIC spline interpolation, thereby allowing the curve to deform.
