Rigid-body Dynamics

Umeå universitet

Physics is an enabling technology for fields like visual interactive simulation, digital entertainment and virtual reality.

Rigid-body dynamics is one of the most fundamental methods in this areas and our research focuses on robust, fast and scalable simulations of rigid-body systems with realistic Coulomb friction. For a recent overview and comparison of methods see e.g. (full paper to be published elsewhere):

Splitting Methods for Dry Frictional Contact Problems in Rigid Multibody Systems: Preliminary Performance Results, by Claude Lacoursière, SIGRAD2003.
