How to simulate fixed length between two masses?


I would like to create a fixed lenght between two masses, as if they had a shaft between them. I tried a spring with very hight spring strenth. Is there a better way to do this? Are there exemples somewhere? Thanks.

Genevieve,

this is indeed the best method to achieve what you want to do, currently. We will introduce fixed length distances between masses someday, for sure, but right now you have to rely on very stiff springs.

Best regards,

Ulli

PS: find attached an example that uses this technique. It needs the latest beta version from http://beta.cinderella.de/public
