Physics simulation is imho one of the things that feel like they should be easy but in reality is really difficult. And not talking about anything super fancy, just basic classical mechanics.
One of my dream projects would be to glue physics engine like Project Chrono[1] with modeling kernel like Open CASCADE[2], and some (FOSS) CAD (solvespace[3]?) to make an user friendly package to be able to setup simple scenes for simulation.

- aryoung5 6y agoHey, you can actually use Open Cascade with ProjectChrono right now: http://api.projectchrono.org/group__cascade__module.html http://api.projectchrono.org/group__cascade__module.html. There are also some nice tutorials (http://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_demo_robot.html http://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_demo_robot.html). A Solidworks add-in was also made: http://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_table_of_content_chrono_solidworks.html http://api.projectchrono.org/tutorial_table_of_content_chron.... I've only used Chrono::Sensor, Chrono::Vehicle, PyChrono and I work on a new module called SynChrono. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
