Re: SMD working only at high velocity

Thanks for the response

It seems to be just fluctuating (back and forth) both in terms of the
position of COM along the direction of pulling and the force applied. It
doesn't much sense.

In any case isn't the whole idea of "constant velocity" SMD that velocity
should be kept constant no matter whatever else happens?

Below is a sample of what I got when SMDk was 7 and 14:

Force is simply along the z= -1.0 axis
