[Pyode-user] dependence upon position?

[<mi...@mi...>]

Hi folks,

A friend (he's probably joining pyode-user as I send this) sent me the two small python scripts (attached). They both drop a block near another. They are the same except for one being at (0,0,0) the other at (10,10,10), but their behavior is markedly different. Why?

Is there any way to ensure that behavior has positional independence? ...at least in fairly ordinary ranges. I know things will get crazy near the limits of numerical precision, but this is just a little over 10 units from the center of the universe.

Is there some other parameter that needs to be handled to take account of the position?

Best wishes,
