Wrong terms for breakability

Postby Ivan » Thu Apr 18, 2013 7:33 pm

There is something I had noticed some time ago. It has not yet been fixed. It's called "Impulse break limit" (chains), "Break limit" (axles) or "Axle impulse" (axle information menu) in Algodoo and expressed in Ns. Algodoo seems to be calculating "Axle impulse" by dividing the force applied on the axle by simulation frequency, which is wrong and makes axles more (or less) breakable after changing frequency.

The breakability of axles should depend on force, not impulse, so I suggest calling it "Break limit" (chains) "Axle normal force" (in the information menu) and use N, making it dependant on force only, not frequency.

Which was posted a year ago, completely ignored, and buried in this forum section, never to be seen again.
