Hello, first of all, sorry for too many questions, I have met two problems when designing a pneumatic clamp cylinder, the first one is the link object is keep shaking after it arrives the limited position in my python program when I choose the joint motor mode as “velocity”, but after I change the mode to " position" and modify the python program, this problem not happened again. the second one is I have set a simple box for the collision shape on the link, and a product also with a simple box collision to verify this collision action, but they failed to collision with each other.
Hi, thanks for the question! These things are caused by the collision origin. The physics engine assumes that the center of mass is at the origin of the link. This means that when the collision shape is moved a great distance, the physics engine has some trouble calculating the inertia. This component is very large, which is why the effect becomes so clear.
The easiest solution is to make sure that the collision element has a (0, 0, 0) origin, and instead move the link origin (along with the visual & joint origins) to give it the proper position. When doing this, keep in mind that the joint origin is calculated in relation to the child (link). So, if the link is moved up 1 meter the joint needs to be moved down 1 meter to give the same effect.
