I a seen set up with particles so packing peanuts fall out of a box when it's turned over. The problem is that when I run through it the first time it works the way I want it to. Now if I run through it a second time, without changing anything the particles behave unpredictably. They'll go through deflectores and bounce through the sides of the box that they're in.
Does anyone know how to fix this so the particles will keep working the same way?

Really strange that different behaviour in the second run. I can't explain that, but this "going through deflectors" might indicate that you should use a higher integration step.

Hope that helps,
Boa
