Simmechanics 1st generation

Hi, I'm new to matlab and i need a little help. I'm designing a simple motorcycle model and i need to restrict the motion of the suspension to 130cm. I have placed a 'body spring and damper' and ' prismatic joint' between 2 bodies to represent the suspension. How do i make the restriction? [e-mail]

The motion can be restricted by using 'Translational Hard Stop' block from Simscape -> Foundation Library -> Mechanical Library.

The following documentation link provides more information on this block:

Hope this helps.
