Dear

Dear I think I sorted out

Dear
Thank you for the response, I was able to create the slope programmatically, however, when I simulate the robot going over the slope, it penetrates it like if it is not respondable. If I stop the simulation to change the dynamic properties of the heightfield this disappears. If I double click ...

I need to carefully simulate friction with a tracked vehicle. Mujoco explodes, and Pybullet 2.7 it gives me not satisfactory results (the robot laterally slips inward rather than outwards when turning). Hence, I wanted to give a try with vortex,
I contacted CM labs, got ...

Dear

Friction is a property of two contacting materials. How does it work in Bullet 2.83?
If I set a friction coeff for the floor, and another one the wheels, which one will be used?
