Hi everybody,
I want to simulate an elastic tooth mesh within my simscape multibody model. The model is very simple and consists only two gears. The model works fine with the "Common Gear Constraint" block, but I want to simulate spring and damping effects. Therefore I added a Torsional Spring-Damper which I connected to the model via a Rotational Multibody Interface.

Error:An error occurred during simulation and the simulation was terminated
Caused by:
[‘Test_ElastischerZahneingriff_1/Solver Configuration’]: Initial conditions solve failed to converge.
Nonlinear solver: Linear Algebra error. Failed to solve using iteration matrix.
The model may not give enough information to make it possible to solve for values of some of its variables. Specific advice is given below.

all components and nodal across variables involved
Tie variable ‘Torsional_Spring_Damper.R.w’ (Rotational velocity) to a definite value, for example by connecting an appropriate domain reference block.

Dependency found among topology equations. Check for missing reference node.

Is anybody out there who can help me fixing this error?
You can see the model in the pictures.

Thank’s everybody for any helpful comment….

Kind regards,
