Simulation Simplified

Simbody introduces the concept of a “mobilizer,” which directly expresses a part’s movement, however complex, purely in relation to another part

Typically, researchers who simulate life in motion—from particles to people—start by describing the motion of each part of an object independently of the other parts. Additional equations...
