Lecture 211: Modal Analysis (18)

https://www.youtube.com/@TenMinutePhysics This channel is a great resource for physics simulations, but it's interesting to me because the direction they go in the youtube series is kind of far from using modal analysis and instead favors many smaller iterations of "worse" but faster models.

@yjp20 Yup, that is an excellent resource. Thanks for sharing!

A lot of content on that channel is focused on position-based dynamics (PBD), which is closely related to Verlet integration. If you are interested in learning more, I recommend looking at papers published by Matthias Müller. In fact, he is also the one who runs that YouTube channel you linked!

All physics simulations strive for stability. Both modal analysis and PBD are ways of achieving this, and which is "better" is highly application-dependent.
