Adding Springs with free translation in y-z plane
Hey,
I have the following problem. I am simulating a floating cubic device (WEC) and I want to constrain its front and back sides with linear springs like so:
However I do only want the springs to damp movement in x-direction. So if waves are heaving the body in z or push it to its laterals in y, the movement shall be taken by a movable support (free translational movement in z and y).
I saw no whatsoever option for linear springs in chrono. Another idea was to connect a spring with a zipline, but that would only allow movement in one additional direction. Does anyone have an idea how to do this ? I assume there should be an easy solution for this but I didn't find anything so far.
