Abstract :
Along with the development of virtual reality and digital games, the dynamic virtual scenes become more and more complex. Real-time simulation of massive fluid and solid bodies is a challenge in common PC machine. We use the three layer design for the physics engine, so performance optimization can be done apart. Collision detection of solid and fluid is the most common component is this platform. Then solid simulation of fracture, deformation, clothing and fluid simulation of liquid, gas, fire, tornado have been implemented in this engine. Finally, a visual content generation system that is built on this engine can be used by animators to produce physics animation. Also, the physics engine supports APIs for real-time simulation applications.
