Hello,
i am actually working on a model in which i want to connect two solids with a bolt.
Can anyone explain me what is the difference between the different types available. I think i have to use the type = hinge because ist seems like this type represents a rotatin bolt.
If someone got a list or so what showing the diffeences it would be very helpfull to me.
Tank you.

Hinge as a bolt connector type will allow one rotational DoF free.
