Floating Spheres?

Submitted by sryoo on Tue, 05/19/2020 - 17:30

Hello everyone,

I am wondering why my simulation is showing spheres that are "floating". Does this happen due to the property of materials? In the screen shot, particles floating in "air" for multiple time steps and not moving much after particle collision. It didn't happen with my other practice scripts.

I have attached my script, could someone critique it please? This is my first time really exploring liggghts so my script is messy and I would really appreciate someone pointing out errors and tips.

I have attached a screenshot of what paraview is showing.

Thank you!
Sasha

Hello, I found that the scale factor was an issue. If I set the scale factor to around 2, it looks "correct". Why is that the case? I looked over my script and I am not sure where I scaled the particles (or down scaled the stl files) to a factor of 2. Could someone look and explain please?

Thank you!
