How to change the distance between two bodies in simulink multibody

Hey,

i want to do a simulation with simulink multibody but i need to change the distance between two bodies (which consist multiple other bodies).

I've found that i can use the distance constraint but then my one body will rotate around the other body. Is there any possibility to stop that rotating or is there a another option to change distance between two bodies.

Thanks

Hi - if you connect a Prismatic Joint between the two bodies and set it up for prescribed motion (Force: Automatically Computed; Motion: Provide by Input), you can have your two bodies remain a specified distance apart.
