Strange behaviour from Basic Motion model

[DrBwts]

Hi,

Anybody using the Basic Motion simulator?

Not impressed so far.

My parts just seem to ignore contact pairings and at times fly off their housings (even though properly constrained & with no contact clashes) for no aparent reason!

I have not used it.
Any help here?

Thanks that was very helpful.

Its a great tool but its a little temperamental. You have to have quite a high sampling rate (they call it Frame Rate) to solve the contacts but if you use too high a value it becomes just as unstable as using too low a value!
