<p>The model in this example refers to a robotic picker arm. The functional surfaces of the picker
                arm are loaded with pressure. The picker arm is fixed radially in the middle
                cross-bored area. <br/><img class = "image" src = "../TsoExampleImages/pickerMaxStiffModel.png"/><br/></p>
