  Hi there,
  
  I am doing a static simulation which has some rigid and flexible bodies mixed in it.
  
  I was wondering how to probe the rotation angle of a rigid body?
  
  Thanks in advance,

  One may add a general joint and then probe the joint rotation on the rigid body.
  
  For Flexible Body, there is the Flexible Rotation Probe.

  Could you share that post from Akhemka?
  
  What if I measure the rotation of the rigid body directly via Flexible Rotation Probe? It actually worked.
  
  Thanks in advance,

  I deleted the broken link. The post contained that one sentence that I included.
  
  Good to know the Flexible Rotation Probe works on Rigid Bodies also. There was no such thing as this kind of probe back in Release 17, so the other method was required.
  
  jj77 linked to a very good article that is relevant.
