I am not have any success with this, I switched to using a mortor contact as suggested by the link. What I expect to happen is that I have two simple rings made of beams, I fixed one under the other can turn gravity on and the top ring should fall and bounce off the fixed bottom ring. But it seems no matter what I do they just pass thru each other.
