A cross-platform C++20 library offering a unified GPU incremental potential contact framework for simulating the dynamics of rigid bodies, soft bodies, cloth, and threads, and their couplings. The framework emphasizes accurate contact without penetration and incorporates differentiable simulation capabilities.
Key Features:
- Finite element-based deformable simulation
- Rigid and soft body coupling
- Friction-aware contact handling
- Scriptable animation control
- Differentiable simulation capabilities
