Method Details [hide private]

__init__(self)
(Constructor)

source code 

Initialize the simulation.

Overrides: object.__init__

doStep(self, dT)

source code 

Do one step of time dT. If dT is too large it is subdivided in smaller steps.


Class Variable Details [hide private]

NO_MOVEMENT

lower limit of velocity. Smaller values of velocity are considered as no movement.

Value:
1e-05
