Constrained Particle System



Project : Constrained Particle System
Semester : Spring 2012
Platform : Visual C++
Course : Computer Animation and Simulation
Instructor : Prof. Jernej Barbič (http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~jbarbic/)


I modeled a simple chain using a particle system and implemented hard constraints. One particle was fixed, and all particles were constrained to be at a fixed distance from neighboring particles. A circle constraint was added so that one end of the chain (last particle) always remains on a circle.

Baumgarte stabilization was applied to correct the simulation.
