Description

Hello! First, thank you for sharing your great work.

What I'm trying to do is to use Material Point Method process for a stationary object, without any gravity or external force (actually 0).

Under this condition, in order to make the object move through image loss, I need to update the velocity (assuming I don't care about the material), and I think there needs to be an extra force to follow the law of conservation of energy.

To do this, I want to update the extra force of the object, and I would appreciate any ideas on how to do it.

Thank you for reading my question.

Best regards,
