I would add thickness to a curve or polyline in the vertex modeler. Then add a skeleton to animate it.

i try add thickness to a curve but in carrara it does not work, in hexagon yes.

Right, you can't add thickness to a curve in the VM, but in Hex yes. It's also just better to model in Hex to begin with, but that's another story.

You can still make a nice easy rope in Carrara using a sweep. Draw your line, make a small circle and sweep it.
