Ask help for the materials setting

Asked by yang yi

I hope to simulate the coal seam collapsing, but my major is computer and control. And I tried several different material about the particle. such as FricMat, CpmMat, ViscElMat.... But all of them has the following problme
(1) The particle will bounce if it collide the wall of boundary.
(2) My friend to me to increase the damping of NewtonIntegrator, but it desnot work. and if I increase the greavity, the particle will through the wall.

my engines is :
         ForceResetter()
         InsertionSortCollider()

So, please kindly tell me, which kind of material I should to use. and how to set the parameters that the particle will not bounce.
Thank you very much

Sorry, maybe my description is not clear.
My aim is to establish a environment to simulation the process of coal and rock falling. The upper layer is rock, then a coal layer. The particles falls by gravity. My question is

(1) The particles will damp, but I want that the coal and rock falls down and stays on the ground, or the bounce is very small. So I do not know which kind of material I should to use. I tried the FricMat, CpmMat, ViscElMa...
      Today, I try the "CohesiveDeformableElementMaterial", but there is a error that
      "Undefined or ambiguous IPhys dispatch for types CohesiveDeformableElementMaterial and CohesiveDeformableElementMaterial." So, here is subproblem: If the "CohesiveDeformableElementMaterial" is right, which kind of Engine should I used??

(2) Sometimes , the particles will through the wall.

Please kindly help me.

Hello,

search for "coefficient of restitution" or something like that in question or manual.

another option is to develop / implement a new model suitable for your needs :-) which would take significant amount of time, however..

cheers
Jan
