Hello guys,

I have an issue with simulation.

The problem is:

- I need to put TWO rotule (ball joint) One on the TOP and one on the bottom of a AIR cylinder.

I dont know how to make connections and/or fixtures and/or contact sets in solidworks to recreate the movement of TWO ball joints.

I did it on the top using a remote load mass (displacement rigid) in one point, blocking the translations and leaving free the rotation.

But at the bottom the cylinder has a bushing that is placed in a PIN and I dont know what kind of connection I have to put between the cylinder and the pin to recreate a ball joint.

Thanks for the support guys.
