Hi everyone!

Absolute beginner here. Have mercy!
I`m setting up a static structural analysis for a simple trailer. The setup and simplified trailer schematic is shown on the attached pic.
At the momement I`m using the axel bores to apply cyindrical constraints. But the problem with this approach is that the cyl. constr. does not allow the rotation of rectangular pipe near the axel bore. The picture should give a better understanding.

So is there a possibility to constrain the axel bores in a manner that the described rotation would be allowed?
