White dwarf simulation (G29-38)

[B-McKinley]

I'm trying to create a simulation of a fictional planetary system around the factual white dwarf G29-38 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_29-38). I'm starting with an empty simulation and trying to modify Sirius B to match these properties.

• Mass 0.69 sun
• Radius 8.2x10⁸cm
• Density 6.0x10⁶ g cm^-3
• T_eff 11,820 K
• Lum .0024 sun

But whenever I try to get everything set correctly, I can't seem to get all of those set the way I want. Something is always shifting out of whack as I adjust something else. Is there a method to get everything set the way I want it?

G29-38 also has a debris disc. I was wondering what the radius units for rings - radius, length, and geo refer to.

Try turning "Realistic" off.

That helps, and also remembering that density is directly related to mass and radius.

Try turning "Realistic" off.

oh my god thank you I had no idea about that option and was endlessly frustrated that I couldn't get any of my objects the way I wanted them
