Abstract

A simulation engine is configured to generate a physical simulation of a chain of particles by implementing a physics-based algorithm. The simulation engine is configured to generate a predicted position for each particle and to then adjust the predicted position of each particle based on a set of constraints associated with the physics-based algorithm. The simulation engine may then generate a predicted velocity for a given particle based on the adjusted, predicted position of that particle and based on the adjusted, predicted position of an adjacent particle.
