Low mass link issue, physics parameter tuning?
I have problems with creating model with links with low mass (< 0.001). As a result, I get sliding model or misbehaving joints (bouncing or broken). As soon as I increase the mass of the link to 1g or above, the model behaves perfectly. I imagine that I need to tune the physics parameter but I'm not sure here to start. Anyone as experience with the physics options?

Have you adjusted the inertia accordingly?

Yes inertia was set with respect to the link's shape, volume and a the density of the material (expanded polystyrene).

I think the inertia's order of magnitude will be quite low in this case... Here's a relevant issue: https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/issues/1646

I've looked at issue 1646 and 169 but unfortunately I did find any solution the working with small mass objects. Any other leads?
