Rigid Body Simulation in 3D with constraints - FumingElephant - Jul-11-2018

I'm essentially trying to simulate a cylinder with a mass attached to it via a joint that can rotate in a 2D plane perpendicular to the cylinder. Are there resources or courses for teaching how to do it, and what packages/libraries may help me out?

Thanks,
Elephant

This may be of interest. It uses Blender python api to create a cylinder and rotate same.
It doesn't have attachmants, but a start: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/5898/how-can-i-create-a-cylinder-linking-two-points-with-python/30644#30644
