How to fix a fixed joint at the both ends?

[raviteja]

Hello everyone,

I am designing a gas shock absorber. In that, I can't fix the shock absorber both ends with a joint command. can anyone help with that?

the actual plan is I need to simulate shock absorber with both sides fixed and with sliding mechanisms.

Thanks in advance

This is more of a design forum question. @seth.madore

You will need three joints: A fixed joint at each end of the shock and a sliding or cylindrical joint between each section of the shock.
