Hi all,

I am looking to model a bushing/compliance for real time usage, based on an approach from another MBD package that I am trying to replicate:
* measure the reaction forces/torques across a link between two connected bodies
* low pass filtered the results and multiply with a compliance matrix to obtain a 6 DOF transformation.
* apply this transformation to the link between the bodies

Do you know how this can be implemented as a component, without the need to impose this externally in the main simulation loop?

For example, I could use the following to get the loads on the link:
Get_react_torque ()
And use a ChLinkLockLock where I can apply the new angles and displacements. 

Is there some sort of callback of the element I can utilise for this?

Thank you
