  Hello, The simulation of a universal joint is supported in Discovery? As conditions; an end of joint is fixed support , another one is added moment and all contacts are sliding. In this case, the solve failed. When I changed all contacts from sliding to fixed joints, the solve did not failed. And all bonded contacts looked fine. All contacts are sliding is wrong condition? Do I need other conditions? Would you advise me? Thanks, Ichiro

  Hello Ichiro , Can you try with hinge joints in place of sliding contact? Does that work for you?

  I did it with hinged joints at all locations (Please refer to the attached file). Regards.
