3.11.2.8 Rigid Damper
The rigid damper applies a linear damper that connects two rigid bodies and at arbitrary points (not necessarily nodes).
In addition to the shared parameters above, it defines the following parameters.
| parameter | Description |
| c | Damping constant |
| insertion_a | Insertion point of the spring on body a |
| insertion_b | Insection point of the spring on body b |
Example:
<constraint type="rigid damper"> <body_a>1</body_a> <body_b>2</body_b> <insertion_a>0,0,1</insertion_a> <insertion_b>0,0,3</insertion_b> <c>1e-7</c> </constraint>
