Hi guys,

I'm trying to build a simple constraint network for simulating car suspensions, but with no results. Basically, I just need the “spring effect” between Body and Wheels. Please find a video example attached.

Any suggestions will be really appreciated.

Thank you

I tried with this solution (please find hip file attached) but spring constraint doesn't work. Can't figure out why.

Here [drive.google.com] the .abc file I'm using.

Hi moise23, Is there any chance you still got that car model?
I've downloaded you file (which looks sick btw) but the car model is unavailable. Would you be kind enough and re-upload the car model you used?

I've been meaning to try to build a car dynamics setup myself got stuck with the constraints... Iv'e been trying to use soft constraint instead of springs... seems more reliable but still give me a hard time.

Thanks!
