With active bodye and frictiony: spinning like crazy ^_^

[cecofuli]

Hello,

I have this situation: active bodies in a swimming pool. The scene is very simple:
These are the main "friction" parameter I changed:

• Sticky value = 0.1 - 0.5
• Default viscosity = 0.1-0.01

I also changed "Friction with the fluid" to 1 in the PhoenixFD properties of the sphere.

But, as you can see, balls are spinning like crazy, as no friction is present between liquid and sphere...

Could you suggest me what to do? I'm stuck...

Here is another test =)

PS: I created all these ugly boxes to allow spheres to fall down in the swimming pool in a different timing.
If you have a better solution/idea, I will appreciate !

Ahaaa, the balls are accelerating. I remember we had such an issue quite a long time ago - could you shader the 5-digit Phoenix version from the About box?

Hello Svetlin, thank you for your answer!
Ohhh...DAMN" I thought that our IT guy updated PhoenixFD to the last version! It was some old "v4.00.xx something".

He downloaded the last version, I delete all old PhoenixFD stuff, redo everything and now no crazy spinning at all.
I spent one full day (even more) to understand what was the problem! I will kill him tomorrow XD!!
Thank you for the "tips". We are so nerd inside that, often, we don't think to the easier solution ah ah ah ...

Wohoooo! Glad it's okay now, I was worried that this issue could have risen from the dead, which also happens every now and then
