Closed Chain Analysis

Hello,
I have a model of the human neck and my lab would like to build a head rest type device and are seeking to understand the forces that such a device would experience. What I am trying to do with OpenSim is create a new joint attached to the back of the skull and ground and then perform an inverse dynamics analysis on a static motion.
The trouble I am having is creating a second joint for the skull. Any direction on this or an equivalent method would be very appreciative.
Thank you.
