Mechanical Simulation with Rigid Bodies in Kangaroo

Hi @DanielPiker and others,

I’m wondering why this simple Rigid Body, Mechanical Simulation isn’t working. Could you give me some feedback/direction? The center piece seems to wobble all over the place. Thank you!

If you want to keep a rigid body from moving or rotating about any particular axes you can use the ‘Support’ goal.

Here though, since it looks like the rotation of that hub with the slider is purely driving the movement of the other parts, you don’t need to include a rigid body goal for it, but can instead just use the rotated points as targets for anchors like this:
