Simulation of soil ?

[Daniel.Schmidt.Ds]

Hello,

I'm actually working on a simulation of a bucket excavator and use Newton as the physics engine.
To dig out soil i wanted to create a cubic shape and apply buoyancy to simulate the resistance of the material.
This produces the wrong behavior that a constant force is carried on the bucket of the excavator.

Are there other possibilities to simulate something like soil in newton ?

Thanks,

Daniel

you could apply buoyancy only to the soil cubes and not the bucket.

Perhaps Sphere<>Sphere collisions would be faster?

You are a bit late, and Xshooter's reply was a spam bot which brought up this half a year old topic, you can see the response is totally generic and bot-like and there's plenty of this spam, after a while the post is there they go and edit it, adding links to other sites:
