MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)

Thank you for your help.

If I find a solution, I'll post here with the details.

Wonderful to read that you continue to work at the Physics plugins.
I have not had the courage to play with MS-Physics until now.
Does it make sense to install MS-Physics and SketchyPhysics in SketchUp 2015 32bit simultaneously? And to test both plugins with the same (simple) model?

Anton_S

Yes, MSPhysics and SketchyPhysics can be placed in same plugins folder. But, both plugins won't interact with each other; properties assigned by SketchyPhysics will not affect properties assigned by MSPhysics. To get the model to work the same way on both MSPhysics and SketchyPhysics, you'll need to assign similar properties with SketchyPhysics UI and MSPhysics UI.

Ah, good - Thank you. Will try it.

THis is probably windwos only, correct?

Anton_S

Yes rombout, its windows only. Furthermore, it's unstable and incomplete. Try out SketchyPhysics 3.6.0, while MSPhysics is still under development.

I wish you developed it further or at least made it stable.
Here is my quick try with Thea. Maybe it will motivate you slightly

Hi, I'm using SU2015 and with
ams_Lib 3.1.2 and

MSPhysics will be up and running soon. Have a great holiday!

Hi, 0.3.0 Alpha has been released! Go to first post for download.
Changelog:

Reverted to SDL1 and SDL_Mixer1, which fixed the crash that occurred after using SketchUp for a few minutes.
Optimized the C++ extension.
Upgraded to Newton 3.14.
Added joints. Still more work to go.
Added replay animation tool. It can record materials and emitters.

I might post videos regarding the features soon. Meanwhile, try out the chains.

Tried with SU16-64 Win8.1-64:

Try deleting the old version and download the new one. It might be bragging about localization, but in theory it shouldn't.

I've compared my installed files with the zip and there were some files missing in my installation. Now it's working perfect, thank you!

I like the debug modus of your chain model

cotty

How can these (groups of) bodies collide? If the lower group is exploded, the individual parts collide but not as a group/component.

coll_example.skp

cotty

If I assign the hinge to the ground instead of the group of objects, the collision works, but I need the assignment to that group for this case:

coll_example2.skp

Anton_S

Cotty, joint properties can be editted. Select the desired joint, open MSPhysics UI, and enable 'connected collide' option.
