drop test of ball on stairs

[Dan_Margulius]

Hi,

In the attached file I expexted to see the ball go down the stairs. Instead is bouncing up and down.

What is wrong in my setup ?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I simplified the model a bit and it seems to behave as expected now.

Thanks,

Sid.

Hi,

Thank you,

For your original model, the ball should ideally bounce up and down on the upper stair, since gravity is only along Z-direction.  If you want the ball to go down the stairs, you can have the ball with an initial velocity along X-direction.

By the way, the surfaces of the other stairs should be included in contact pairs with the ball (2 surfaces).
