Modeling Rigid Bodies With No Mechanical Properties

Hi all, is it possible to model rigid bodies with no mechanical properties? i.e., the calculations of young's modulus in HuntCrossleyForce and ElasticFoundationForce are not calculated.

Hi!

The answer might yes...as you can also model rigid body with no mass (as previous SIMM models). However, you will not be able to run dynamic simulation though. I think there is a similar problem with respect to inertial properties.
