We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi,
 
The stiffness about a hinge joint local x axis can be defined, as shown in Figure 2.
 
Please check if there is any rotation response about the global Y and/or global Z axis. If yes, the joint force about global x axis (in Figure 3) could be non-zero, as the hinge joint local x axis does no longer parallel to the global X axis.
