Energy loss in traer Physics?
May 1st, 2009, 7:00am  
I am having some trouble with total energy fluctuations with the traer physics library. If I log total system energy (potential + kinetic) it tends to fluctuate with time and eventually decrease, even with spring damping set to 0 and drag set to 0. Does anyone know what causes this problem, or How I can avoid it? I have tried shrinking my time step, changing force values, and changing my particle masses, but I haven't managed to resolve this issue.
