Question about the OdeConstraintSolver with quick step

Post by sssa2000 »

i try the OdeConstraintSolver with quick step,
i find it is very quick,
but when i read the code of OdeConstraintSolver,
i do not find any head file of ODE,


so i wonder why Call the name OdeConstraintSolver?
Is there any Relation with ODE?

ODE stands for Open Dynamics Engine, which is an Open Source Physics Library.
Enter 'ODE' into a Google Search Box, and it will take you to it. :wink:

This is an optional constraint solver from the ODE project. All necessary dependencies are included, so no other ODE files are needed, except the files in Bullet/Extras/quickstep.

It is recommended to use the Bullet constraint solver, it is more flexible and the gap in performance will be closed/improved.
