How to ensure hollow beams don´t go through eachother in Simulink?

Hello Forum,

this problem is part of a bigger modell but I scaled it down so its easier to follow me.

I want to connect two (or more) flexible hollow beams to oneanother, so that they reflect a telescopic beam. If I only work with prismatic joints and hollow beams something like this is the result

this is obviously wrong.

1. the beams go through oneanother
2. the beams bow more than expected.

How do i now connect the hollow flexible beams in the correct manner?

I have also tried with contact forces but there is no Geometrie Port availible with the beams.

Here is my current modell so i may be better understood

best regards

Tobias

Hi @Tobias,

Could you please attach the model with the question to assist you better.
