Hi I am unable to use the Torque and Force Controller the way it should be working, The part moves and then stops in the particles and then goes back. Adding to that, the part moves without even any value of Force/Torque in XYZ. The document is not clear or descriptive enough to understand on usage of these tools.

    Hi

    Are you using a single torque/Force value?. If you are using an equation to specify the torque or force, it must be time dependent. The list of math functions are specify in the EDEM documentation under 'Specifying a Motion Controller'.

    The tutorial link below is an example of a loading plate that could help to double check your simulation settings
