Cylindrical Joint in LS-Dyna

Cylindrical joint is having 2 DOF. This include one axis of rotation and one axis of translation, it is similar to revolute joint, Nodes 1234 are need to be created and assign two nodes as a part of one rigid body and rest of nodes as part of other rigid body, using the CONSTRAINED_EXTRA_NODE_SET, by using mesh tool we create the cylinder and shaft in which nodes 1,3 belongs to one rigid body and Node 2,4 belongs to other rigid body, and we have to coincide the nodes, so that axis of rotation is assigned, here we are using INITIAL_RIGID_BODY card to define the initial velocity to it.
