caronte and realwave interaction steps

[kimgar]

i'm struggling to find a stable settings for realwave and caronte.
i've a got a realwave plane at 300x300m with about 50 connected mulitjoints floating in it, all linked together, at lower wave heights things are stable, but at 9 meter waves the sim explodes. the resolution/poly size are not that important.

what settings can stabilize such a sim? i've tried min 300 max 500, jittering and caronte quality, actually the higher settings i try the more unstable it seems, are there any other settings i could try?

Hey,

do you have the scene to take a look?. Maybe you have a very low quality to simulate that scene and you to increase the quality value.

Let me know.

the quality was set to high, but i think i've found the problem, the center of gravity might have been outside the mesh, is there a way to see exactly where center of gravity is calculated?

decreasing center of gravity a little seems to have stabilised the sim

is there a way to see exactly where center of gravity is calculated?

Sure. The centre of gravity is adjusted with "@ CG" in the "Rigid body" panel. This point can be made visible with Display > Show CG > Yes. It's a small yellow square.

aah, excellent, that shows it...damn i was waaaay off
