Hello, 

 

here are some topics/parameters that could change your result:

  • materials young's modulus: making each part more or less rigid could affect the results
  • motion frames: you could change the velocities and/or add a spring-dashpot force motion frame
  • tire/wheel mass: if you increase the tire mass, it would probably bounce less

 

please check the Rocky User Manual for more details on each topic, and feel free to continue this conversation

 

best regards,

Lucas
