Henry Weller 1f51c8a89d rigidBodyDynamics: Added support for restraints and a linear spring with damper
applications/test/rigidBodyDynamics/spring: Test of the linear spring with damper restraint
Damped simple harmonic motion of a weight on a spring is simulated and
the results compared with analytical solution
