I try to model a simple one mass point pendulum in 3D, the mass point is located on the y - axis, at a distance d. Rotations around the y-axis do not make physical sense, hence, I use only qx, qz to describe the angles of rotation of the frame of m.

If MM is the mass matrix, I get determinant(M) = 0.
As this pendulum is so simple, I do not think I made a mistake modeling it.
What could be the problem?

Thanks for any help!

Peter,

You'll have to share your code for us to help, as this isn't enough information.

Peter,

The ideal way to do this is to paste the code into the email or in a Github discussion. Making the code as short as possible to demonstrate the issues is also helpful.

Dear Jason,
I think my code is short, but I will have to ask my son how to attach a file to gmail.
Thanks, Peter
