hey Spare, did you solve this? if it must be a syflex sim and the only way to solve it is for both meshes to be merged then surely the only issue is injecting force into the ball? hit it with a big cube?
also momentum probobly does this *really* wellI but thought I'd have a go without Syflex or Momentum and use ICE verlet instead and 'Vorlex' for the RBD simulation inside of ICE. this way I could hack the two systems together with a pointcloud on the net geometry. see here for an extremely non robust example and link to scene file https://vimeo.com/92092218/ is this the kind of thing you meant?
