AGX Dynamics

<p>AGX Dynamics (previously known as AGX Multiphysics) is a proprietary <a href="/facts/Real-time_computing/p9HxgL4L">real-time</a> <a href="/facts/Physics_engine/lAsEdSA4">physics engine</a> developed by <a href="/facts/Algoryx_Simulation_AB/fJF3bF60">Algoryx Simulation AB</a> that simulates <a href="/facts/Rigid_body_dynamics/ajbkweF2">rigid body dynamics</a>, <a href="/facts/Collision_detection/kXkE9WXv">collision detection</a>, dry frictional contacts, jointed systems, motors, fluids, deformable materials, hydraulics, hydrodynamics, cable systems and wires.  AGX targets several domains, such as virtual reality real-time simulator applications for training and marketing; computer aided engineering and virtual prototyping; movie visual effects; and education. For education, components of AGX are used in the end-user software product <a href="/facts/Algodoo/moQXgzXz">Algodoo</a> also developed and sold by Algoryx. Users of AGX simulate e.g. granular systems, construction equipment, forestry machines, mining processes and machines, biomechanics, industrial robots, ship and anchor handling processes and cranes. AGX is often integrated with 3D visualization frameworks such as <a href="/facts/OpenSceneGraph/jVMMEzYS">OpenSceneGraph</a>, <a href="/facts/OGRE/ec2xhxmX">OGRE</a>, <a href="/facts/Unity_(game_engine)/GsM1fEUG">Unity</a> and <a href="/facts/Unreal_Engine/0ghxRQl8">Unreal Engine</a> and often also with actual hardware and control systems of the real-world version of the simulator. AGX is integrated in many 3D modeling and <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_design/5gSXrmmN">CAD</a> systems, including Algoryx Momentum for <a href="/facts/ANSYS/46AYvV7W">ANSYS</a> Discovery (formerly <a href="/facts/SpaceClaim/6JR5Ly8M">SpaceClaim</a>).
</p><p>AGX has been under active development since 2007. It usually has about 3 major releases per year.
