CoppeliaSim forums

For cleaning purposes, I need to attach a tool to the end-effector. As a result, two objects have made contact with each other. I would like to reduce the friction between only two surfaces so that the contact should be as slippery as possible. Is this kind of simulation possible in CoppeliaSim, if so, do we have a tool for this matter? Initially, I was thinking of attaching a flat surface to the end-effector, but I have concerns about how the surface may react with wall. Currently, I'm using CoppeliaSim 4.5 in Ubuntu 18.04.

Hello,

not sure if I understand exactly what you mean... but why not give the tool a friction of zero?

Cheers

In this case, what is the exact parameter I need to change? The tool now is the capsule from Add->Primitive shape. I'm using Bullet now. Do I need to change this "friction": 0.5, to zero?

Select the shape, then in the shape dynamics dialog, click Engine properties and adjust one of following (depending on your engine):

• bullet/friction
• ode/friction
• newton/staticFriction and/or newton/kineticFriction
• mujoco/friction

Cheers

it worked. thank you so much for this invaluable support.
