Hello,
I'm in the midst of doing an academic research for my masters thesis in the field of robot control. I've actually started to use Bullet to implement a VR (besides Ogre), in order to test my control system(a robot force controller implemented in MATLAB) and get the results when interacting with soft surfaces(I've implemented the robot in Bullet, which is interacting with MATLAB through its xPc Target toolbox).
So my problem is this:
As I've described it is necessary to have the precise and exact dynamic model used for softbodys in Bullet, in order to mention them in my report and papers. Is that a mass/spring/damper model? Or a modified version of it? What are the exact definitions for parameters? What is the actual reference paper, article or book for the implemented model?
As I searched with google and also through the forum, unfortunately I couldn't get any dependable information. I would be so grateful if aided with this issue.
Thanks to all of the cool people contributing to this great engine!
Kind Regards,
Arash.
