Rigid Body connections with spring/dashpots

[hnng]

Hi,

I am trying to build a simplified model of a vehicle using discrete rigid body in 2D

I defined a discrete rigid part and replaced the front and rear wheels by two rigid wires of around 10cm length and replaced the body of the car by another longer rigid element which has a translational and rotational inertia. (A representative figure has been attached below).

On Submitting the job I encounter following error, can someone help me in defining the structure properly:
"Rigid elements, deformable elements, connectors and analytical surfaces cannot be combined within a part. This rule is violated by part CAR."

Thanks

I think I resolved my problem by defining different parts for wheel and car body and assembling them using Spring/Dashpot feature in the interaction module.

Thanks
