| Mechanical one way latch. Toothed pendulum swings one way but when it swings the other way the latch kicks in and prevents further motion. |
 |
| Grid of solid circles of the same material. Material is has a high degree of restitution energy dissipation as well as a high surface friction coefficient. |
 |
| Early scene to prove out possible toothed gear simulation. Effective force propagates from the toothed pendulum to the final gear. Moderate gear play and latency is observed. |
 |
| Materials impacted with solid hard circle. Materials all have the same young's modulus but different von mises energy criteria for plastic deformation. In the "deviatoric energy" view one can see the max deviatoric energy reached in each scenario. |
 |
| Early example of material variation. Here only the youngs' modulus of the material varies for each of the tubes. (multicolor triangle view shows underlying simulation triangle description) |
 |
| Triangle connectivity view for scene involving the falling of a rubberized rope. Surface contact is dynamically updated and can easily be seen between rope folds. |
 |
| Early test involving a tube rolling down an incline with gravity. This view shows us the darker connective triangles and the lighter solid object triangles interacting at various surfaces |
 |
| Simple bearing simulation.This scenario demonstrates the robust nature of continuous contact FEM. |
