Good morning, so I tryed rigid dynamic and it seems to be the best option, Im having trouble with boundary conditions however. As you can see in the image below when giving the arm of the catapult a constant rotation velocity i cannot seem to find a way for it to hit the base and stop. I tried giving the connection a maximum rotation but then the simulation stops when that condition is reached so I would not be able to see the path of the ball when i launch it. (yes i am using a ball for now:)) Could you help me better understand what boundary condition is needed?
