I need help

Hello,

It seems there is a limit of the angular velocity, specifically, 100 rad/s. Using applyExternalTorque(), the angular velocity at first increases correctly but then is capped once 100 is reached. Alternatively, I can set a value directly with resetBaseVelocity - which at first glance works fine (getBaseVelocity returns the same vector), but de facto physics corresponds to 100 rad/s again, as is seen both in the visualization and actual interactions, e.g., of the rotating body with a surface.

I haven't found any mention of this in the docs - nor a way to raise this limit. Any pointers?

Yes, the angular velocity is capped for safety. Yes, you can change it. This thread has the info you seek.

Let's expose an API to override the safety setting. See https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/issues/1890
