Physics engine : Introduction: A physics engine is a piece of computer software used in the fields of computer graphics, video games, and movies that approximates the simulation of specific physical systems, including rigid body dynamics (including collision detection), soft body dynamics, and fluid dynamics (CGI). Their primary applications are in video games, where the simulations take place in real time (usually as middleware). Sometimes the phrase is used in a broader sense to refer to any software program that simulates physical phenomena, including high-performance scientific simulation. Physics engine Description: a. Scientific engines: ENIAC, one of the original general-purpose computers, served as a very basic physics engine. The United States military utilized it to create ballistics tables to estimate where artillery shells of various masses would land when fired at various angles and gunpowder charges, taking wind drift into consideration. The artillery c...
