EDEM Cone Penetrometer force output 100x Less than expected

I am currently trying to verify an EDEM simulation of a cone penetrometer.

The value for the total force on my cone penetrometer geometry is around 100x lower than I would expect having verified the data with multiple readings from a real cone penetrometer on different soils.

I have run many simulations and changed particle properties but always appear to be a consistent way out from where I would expect.

    are you using any particle scaling in your model? scaling might affect the resistance from the sample.

    Could you share the experimental results? What are your model parameters? What contact model? Shear modulus? Cohesion?
