I’ve been trying to find a way to rotate the part inside the yellow markings to a specific angle around the red axis, but can’t get th…

Have you come across this example Jakob: [image] Mechanical Simulation with Rigid Bodies in Kangaroo 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 p…

Perfect @johnharding ! I’ll have a go at it! Thanks a lot! -Jakob

It worked perfectly, @johnharding ! Thanks for the pointer :slight_smile: -Jakob

Please can you share this definition. I do need to simulate a hinge opening/closing. Thank you.

Yes, I’ve seen and trying to figure-out how to apply the same to a Blum hinge like the one from above animation.

It can be tricky… You may want to create a new topic and share your files

Hi @Cumberland I’ll see if I have it saved somewhere… I’ll get back to you ASAP :slight_smile: -Jakob
