    Hello dhaval,

    please Check the below steps for cylindrical joint

    Step : 1

    Create point> Create Body> Create joints > Create Motion

    Step : 2

    In motion option select joint and go to property and give proper expression for motion

    and try to run your model.

    OK, in this case you have to select different option

    there are two options one is transnational motion and second is Rotational motion, so by default there will be transnational motion.

    you have to manually change it to rotational motion and give appropriate expression for motion.
