bullet soft body sim won't calm down

[sfillat]

I've basically got the sim I want out of a Bullet soft body in Maya 2018. It does a nice little bounce and deforms the way I want it to. Unfortunately it won't stop moving. It spins clock wise ever so slowly and vibrates a tiny bit.

I've attached my scene. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi!

1. You can use "Damping"

2. You can disable "Self Collision".

3. You can even animate an Attribute to change the behavior at a certain time,

like reducing Gravity which constantly adds a force (+ mathematical perfect flat surface on mathematical perfect flat ground ...)

Thanks! Turning off Self Collision did the trick. I assumed you needed that on to maintain the shape of the object but Shape Matching seems to be doing that for me just fine. Added in just a touch of damping helped too.

Thanks for the help!
