Issues with the physical simulation of gazebo

Question

Hello! I encounter an issue regarding the physical simulation of gazebo, which is that the object in the simulated world keeps rolling over forever and just does not stop. I have uploaded related files (including the model file and world file) to help solve the problem:

Although I set the friction parameters for both the world and the object, the problem still exists. When I use box to approximate the object model, the object shakes forever and does not stop.

I use gazebo 1.9.1 in ubuntu precise 32bit. Thanks for any help!

When objects jitter, it's usually because the inertia values are bad or the physics timestep size is too large.

You can cause a sphere to slowly stop rolling by applying a velocity decay value.

I modified your test.world a bit, and the box seems stable:

<sdf version='1.4'>
  <world name='default'>
    <include>
      <uri>model://sun</uri>
    </include>

    <include>
      <uri>model://ground_plane</uri>
    </include>

    <physics type='ode'>
      <max_step_size>0.001</max_step_size>
      <real_time_factor>1</real_time_factor>
      <real_time_update_rate>1000</real_time_update_rate>
      <gravity>0 0 -9.8</gravity>
    </physics>


    <model name='batterie'>
      <pose>5.486 2.3746 0.5 0 -0 0</pose>
      <link name='link'>
        <inertial>
          <inertia>
            <ixx>1</ixx> <ixy>0</ixy> <ixz>0</ixz>
            <iyy>1</iyy> <iyz>0</iyz>
            <izz>1</izz>
          </inertia>
          <mass>1</mass>
        </inertial>

        <collision name='collision'>
          <geometry>
           <box>
              <size>0.15 0.3 0.075</size>
            </box>
          </geometry>
          <max_contacts>10</max_contacts>
        </collision>

        <visual name='visual'>
          <geometry>
            <box>
              <size>0.15 0.3 0.075</size>
            </box>
          </geometry>
        </visual>
      </link>
    </model>

  </world>
</sdf>
