  2# This is an EXUDYN example
  3#
  4# Details:  A one arm mechanism is actuated by the HydraulicActuatorSimple;
  5#           This particular example shows how a static computation can be performed with the hydraulic actuator;
  6#           For static computation, a distance constraint is used to replace the hydraulic actuator;
  7#           Hereafter, the dynamic simulation is initialized with the static equilibrium; this can be used for flexible booms
