Re: [Question #248023]: Changing properties of spheres causing problems.

 

Question #248023 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/248023

    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hi Emon,
check time step (O.dt) in both cases ;-) time step depends on material
stiffness and since stiffness ratio in your cases (default and proposed by
you) is 300, your time steps should be in ratio approx. 17
(sqrt(stiffness)) resulting in what you see..
cheers
Jan
