+# Swing
+
+In this example, we will model a swing consisting of a rigid seat suspended in 4 ropes, mounted symmetrically in a ceiling. Each rope is modeled as a stiff rod with a small point mass at the center of gravity, terminated by a parallel spring-damper to model slight flexibility in the ropes. The ceiling mounting points are modeled as spherical joints, i.e., they do not transmit any torque in any direction. The rim of the seat is modeled as 4 rigid bodies configured in a square, as well as one point mass representing the load, located slightly below the rim assembly.

+
+
+We start by defining a single rope component and attach it to a body in order to verify that it's working.

+This makes for a rather interesting-looking springy pendulum!

+
+There is an initial transient in the beginning where the springs in the ropes are vibrating substantially, but after about a second this transient is damped out (thanks in part to the, in this case desired, numerical damping contributed by the implicit Euler solver).
