Open Dynamics Engine Totally Explained

Everything about The Open Dynamics Engine totally explained

The Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) is a physics engine. Its two main components are a rigid body dynamics simulation engine and a collision detection engine. It is free software licensed both under the BSD license and the LGPL.
ODE was started in 2001 and has already been used in many applications and games, such as BloodRayne 2, Call of Juarez, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, X-Moto and OpenSimulator, an open source Second Life simulator.

Purpose

The Open Dynamics Engine is used for simulating the dynamic interactions between bodies in space. It isn't tied to any particular graphics package.

Supported Geometries

Box
Sphere
Capsule (cylinder capped with hemispheres)
Trimesh (dynamic trimesh and trimesh-trimesh collisions are still incomplete)
Cylinder (currently in the unstable release)
Heightmap
