Hello all,

I'm a newbie in ODE. I write python and use it for scientific calculations
for a while. now I've to do some physic simulation. now I'm learning pyODE.
so there is my problem, I've to do a two-main bodies simulation that they
connect to each other with a servo-motor hinge joint. At the end of each
bodies, They also have a bodies that can swing-off to change to moment of
inertia of the body.

Therefore when it's in a free-fall situation, It should be able to maintain
their rotation by drive the servo and changing their bodies's moment of
inertia in case of the ODE maintains an angular momentum conservation.

So, Is it maintains an angular momentum conservation? If it isn't, how do
deal with this problem? Please, would you all guide me. (..well, I can
understand C-language. so if there're an example that would be really great!
^^)

Thank you very much
Wasin
