The 4 graphs below have zero Damping under the Analysis Settings. The Stabilization Damping Factor is under the Contact Details for Frictional Contact.

Stabilization Damping Factor = 0.0  This looks normal.

Stabilization Damping Factor = 0.05  this looks over-damped.

Stabilization Damping Factor = 0.1 this looks somewhat normal.

Stabilization Damping Factor = 0.2  non-physical behavior: larger second bounce.

The graphs below have various levels of Damping under the Analysis Settings. The Stabilization Damping Factor is under the Contact Details for Frictional Contact was set to 0.

This first result doesn’t look physical.

Reduced damping by a factor of 10. This looks better than the larger damping value in the first trial.
