Reference Implementation of "Strongly Coupled Simulation of Magnetic Rigid Bodies" in Stark

This repository provides a reference implementation of the publication "Strongly Coupled Simulation of Magnetic Rigid Bodies" by Westhofen et al.:

L. Westhofen, J. A. Fernández-Fernández, S. R. Jeske, and J. Bender. 2024. Strongly Coupled Simulation of Magnetic Rigid Bodies. In Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA '24). Eurographics Association, Goslar, DEU, 1–11. https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.15185

Please refer to the publication page for more details. The implementation relies mainly on Stark. Please also check the upstream repository for further details on Stark.

Building & Running

To build the repository, cmake is being used. The project builds in source using the following commands:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make -j 12

To run the experiments shown in the paper, execute the binary created in the examples folder

cd examples
./examples

If left unmodified, this will execute all experiments of the paper consecutively. Their respective outputs can be found in the output folder.

Compatibility

The code has been tested and compiled with:

• Debian 12 64-bit, CMake 3.25.1, GCC 12.2.0
