Hi, felixvanderweijst, 

Thank you for being interested in our work! The 3DEC and physics engine(PhysX) are different methods. You can also check out my paper in chapter 3. 

Best, Gene

Hi Gene,

This looks like an interesting plugin. I read on the Block Research Group website that you are doing a PhD at the ETH. Are you familiar by the research done on masonry vault collapse with DEM software by Van Mele et al.?

I want to do some similar simulations so I installed 3dec DEM software but it is very difficult to learn. I was wondering if the PhysX.GH plugin would be a suitable alternative for this software? I.e. are the results of PhysX.GH accurate enough to be used for engineering purposes or are they more suitable for animation like the physics engines in Blender and Maya?

Thanks
