[ODE] A beginner question about applying forces on a body

[Jon Watte]

Look up dBodyAddForceAtPos(), for example:

http://opende.sourceforge.net/ode-latest-userguide.html#sec_6_3_0


Also, when you're spinning on the floor, that's a contact, and the contact joint will be adding force of its own.

Last, to reduce spinning, you want to consider counter-torque, rather than force.

Subject: [ODE] A beginner question about applying forces on a body


Hi,
I want to apply a set of forces,  on a sphere, with friction at the 
contact points of each force.
My sphere has a translation and rotation parameters, and is rotating on 
a plane, with another friction coefficient.
How can i modelize all that ?
Apparently, dBodySetForce is operating on the mass center, or am i wrong ?
Tx for your help.
