[ODE] constrain object to curve?

[Ignacio García Fernández]

It strongly depends on how much math and how much work you want to do.
Search in google 'point curve restriction multibody' and you'll find a  
phew PhD theses that say something. They usually pring you just a  
paragraph across the whole doc, but if you manage the notation you'll  
find your answer :D

Good luck, and please, let us know your success!

Regards

Ignacio
