IPSA - Inventor Physics Simulation API / News: Recent posts

New #IPSA release. IPSA is an easy to use physics simulation based on ODE using OpenInventor to describe sceneries. http://ow.ly/9zPyb

Almost three years after IPSAs initial release on Sourceforge the time has come for a new release which includes a lot of new features and bug fixes.

Major new features:

• new CMake buildsystem (Makefiles have been deleted)
• new IpsaViewerWidget for easy embedding into Qt applications
• new QtEmbedding demo showing how to use the IpsaViewerWidget
• new IpsaSimulator class which moves all the simulation dependent code out of the IpsaViewer class
• new IpsaSimulatorDelegate class for extending the simulator without subclassing it
• SoPhysics, SoCollisionShape and SoJoint classes now have an auto update mechanism of properties
• automatically updates ODE properties as well as visualisation properties
• header files moved from include/ to include/IPSA/
• documentation: howto write new Joints, Physics, CollisionShapes, Instructions
• ipsa-config script
• pkg-config support... read more

Almost three years after IPSAs initial release on Sourceforge the time has come for a new release which includes a lot of new features and bug fixes.

The release should happen soon after some final testing.

We are pleased to announce the first public release of the IPSA library.

IPSA is an easy way to combine the OpenInventor 3D API with the Open Dynamics Engine to create physical simulations.

If any questions arise or errors occur feel free to contact the authors of to submit tickets on the sourceforge tracker.

Enjoy!

It has been a month now since the IPSA project was approved by the SF team.

IPSA is an easy way to combine the OpenInventor 3D API with the Open Dynamics Engine to create physical simulations.

The original sources have been put up for download but the project has been under heavy development since the last release of the original authors. So the sources have been put up to not get lost somewhere.

Everybody interested in using this package should wait a bit more until some minor issues have been fixed and the subversion repository goes live together with an initial release of the modified IPSA package.... read more
