you mean that the skeletons are root-wise at the same
place and limbs tied together with springs?

but does it make sense, when the spring constraint
is applied, i.e. to the rightupperleg-joint of both
skeletons. the first skeleton has no mass, so how
could it influence the other?

anyway, thank you very much for your idea ronald.
