Hello,

I am creating a model of the knee articulation and I have some difficulties with a contact between two bodies. The patella is supposed to slide naturally along the Femur when the leg is flexing whereas in my model the patella rotates without sliding. I put a "Frictionless contact" between the patella and the femur, but the patella seems to rotate around one point and to get fatter without sliding.. Have you got an idea?

Thank you very much.
