Dyverso-Granular how to settle down?

Hi,

Which settings or workflow its necessary in order to settle down the simulation for the granular solver?
Right now the particles keep vibrating and wont stop moving completely.

There I made an initial state and have a drag daemon at 1.0 and a k speed with min 0 - max 1. Domain Damping at 1 and the solver substeps min and max at 5.

Here's a playblast:

Thank you.

Hi,

can you share with us all the granular fluid parameters you are currently using?

Just in addition to this:
- You could use higher damping values, e.g. around 3.
- Higher iterations (30-50) add more stiffness to the material, more than with just increasing substeps.
- Also try higher friction settings: 0.7 for both.
- The DY_Friction value of the ground object plays a role as well. Start with something like 0.2 or 0.3.

Anyway, if we can take a look at your settings it'll definitely help.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi,
Sorry for the late response, I was not getting the reply notifications.

I believe I had the cohesion set at 1. I opened the demo scene to look at the settings and noticed it was set to 0.4 so I tried that and it stopped the vibrations.

Here's the final sim:

Thank you.

That's a nice simulation. Thanks for sharing the video and letting us know about how you've fixed the tremble.
