Hello,

I try to visualize a rotative Mass-Spring-System in a 3D Model. The first body is moving like I´d like to.
The problem is that the spring is not rotating, it´s just making a translationally movement and that causes the same movement for the connected bodycylinder.
But I would like a system which is only rotating and not moving in a translationally way.
Is there any possibility to do this with springs?


Here is my system:

Thanks for your help!
