    Hi,
    I'd like to ask if it's possible to add a linear actuator to an existing 2DOF project with 250W, 75 rpm motors (from a wheelchair) to simulate traction loss.
    Basically, I'm looking to combine two different types of devices in Simtools.
    If so, which axis plugin should I use in Simtools? Maybe the generic 2D standard (which is what I'm currently using) and add the actuator as a third axis?
