A C++ library for physically-based simulation of rigid bodies, deformable solids and fluids using position-based dynamics methods. It is designed for fast, stable, and controllable simulation suited to interactive environments like games, VR, and visual effects.

Use cases

• simulate rigid body physics in real time
• simulate deformable solids and soft bodies
• simulate fluids with rigid-fluid coupling
• build interactive VR or game physics
• create visually plausible special effects
• prototype position-based constraint solvers

When to choose

• you need fast, stable, real-time simulation over high accuracy
• you are building games, VR experiences, or movie effects
• you want position-based dynamics with collision detection via signed distance fields
• you want Python bindings for experimentation

When to avoid

• you need highly accurate force-based engineering simulation
• you need a full game engine rather than a simulation library
• you need GPU-accelerated massive-scale simulation out of the box
