[ODE] SPRING

[Simon Šander]

I use this function to calculate ERP and CFM.
 
public static void Calc(float springConstant, float dampingCofficient, float
sprungMass, out float erp, out float cfm)
{
            float r = 2.0f * dampingCofficient * (float)Math.Sqrt(sprungMass
* springConstant);
            float hk = Scene.OdeTimeStep * springConstant;
 
            erp = hk / (hk + r);
            cfm = 1.0f / (hk + r);
}

Hi,
 
I'm trying to use suspension in a hinge2 from spring constants that
configure ERP and CFM. I'm using the documentation formula:
 

ERP = h kp / (h kp + kd)
CFM = 1 / (h kp + kd)
 
and my bodys jump .....
 
if i modify with :

 
ERP = h kp / (h  (  kp + kd  )  )
 
it feel really better. Is it a documentation error ? or does i have another
problem ?
 
if i do the same modification with CFM =  1 / (h ( kp + kd ) ) my bodys
jumps again ...

Hi, If i look at your formula:

ERP = h kp / (h  (  kp + kd  )  )
I can say that its equal to ERP = kp / (  kp + kd  )


and this equation doesnt take 'h' as parameter...
So I think your equation isnt correct.
Now I dont have the time to look on it, but perhaps somebody can help you
with it...
see you
