Houdini tutorial: RBD hinge and switching constraints

Hi, my name is Sander Jansen and over the years I've watched a lot of tutorials of all kind. So I thought it is time to make my own contribution.
In this first Houdini tutorial I like to demonstrate how to deform a metal object in an Rigid Body Simulation. The gate is just an example but it can be applied in a wide range of applications where metal like materials are involved. I hope you'll find it interesting. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
