[ODE] Rollling a ball on a plane

[Peter Palotas]

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately the problem was not a problem with
the physics simulation at all as it turned out. I was just making
assumptions about other people's work that I should not have made. For
example that the model of the sphere I was using had its (0,0,0) coordinate
at the center of the sphere. It didn't! This made things look really out of
whack and since it was my first test of the physics engine I assumed there
was something wrong with that. After 3 hours of debugging I made a new model
and everything worked as planned! :) Sorry for bothering you with this
question, ODE seems to be working just great! =)

Hi!

Maybe the problem comes from directly setting the angular velocity each
step.  This is never recommended. Try using Torque or Motors only.
