Structures with hinges

[monty_blue]

Hi everyone,

Still getting started with Elmer. I was just wondering if it would be possible to simulate the mechanics of structures containing hinges about which connected bodies can rotate. I have not seen this done before, so I just wanted to ask.

Thanks!

It has been done before, can't find the example right away, but will keep looking. Done with chapter 9 of the solver manual. Mortar conditions.
