Algodoo
A physics simulation program for drawing and interacting with physical systems
Algodoo is a free physics simulation program for Windows, Mac and iPad that lets users design, construct and explore physical systems through drawing and direct interaction. Scenes are built by click and drag, tilt and shake, with colors, graphs and forces used for visualization. Completed scenes can be shared with others through Algobox.
The program includes drawing tools for creating physical objects and systems, interactive manipulation of scenes, and visualization options such as colors, graphs and forces. It is available for Windows and Mac, with an iPad version on the App Store. Educational resources include official videos and webinars covering topics such as creating educational scenes, turning objects into water, building lenses and laser beams, and creating gears and motors.
Algodoo is free to download and use, with an optional Donate button for supporting development. For users needing more advanced simulation, Algoryx Momentum is offered as a physics simulation plugin for SpaceClaim, capable of simulating complex multibody mechanics in real time, automatically locating potential joints in a model, bringing virtual prototypes to life, and importing 3D models.
