Can be any reason that magnet force does not work to me? I tried to build it many times, even following simple tutorials on that, but no luck. When I am opening scenes from these tutorials (i.e. Peter Quint) the magnet force seem to working fine. The steps are very simple:
1. create a sphere
2. create a grid
3. RBD point object the sphere to each point of the grid
4. create a metaball in the center, big enough to cover most of the spheres
5. create magnet force from the self by selecting spheres and metaball
6. change the value of the magnet force up and down

That's was the most simple step I used and it should work but nothing. Its just drives me crazy.

I know the question is stupid but I can understand what can be wrong.

What are your values set at? I've often had to set mine to 10,000 or higher to see results.

yes, that's it, I tried 10000 as you said and works
but really does not make any sense. I am using the same objects with the same mass and in the same size of scene as in a tutorial and his works with 50 and mines need 10000. what other factors can play any role?


thanks goldleaf, funny thing is that I thought 1000 was extreme when i tried and didnt worked.
