Can Cosmos/Motion do a Range of Motion study? I have a ball and socket type joint but both the ball and socket are irregulaly shaped. Trying to find the total angle all the way around at various points.

Tried using collision detection some but it seems to hang for a while when making contact, maybe it's the complex surfaces (lofts, etc.)

Not that I'm aware of. Have not tried it. Not 100% sure, but I think I heard Cosmos 2006 may do it.
