spheres move out of range

Asked by Hanying Zhang

hi,

i generated a 2D rectangular made of pfacets in which exist many sparse spheres, then i added gravity in the engine so that they could fall down to a dense pack, DOF of spheres was set to "yXZ" to move in x-z plane, in which case spheres would fall on Pfacet, actually they didn't. some of them did fall on the surface of pfacet, the others just fell out of range(x-z plane)..i cant figure out why. Below is my code.
