    This is pretty impressive. The software allows you to draw diagrams that are then animated by applying gravity to the unanchored pieces. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZNTgglPbUA&eurl=[^] The demo is fairly simple. I haven't been able to find more info, but I wonder how specific it can get. Can you specify an angle is 15°, rather assuming you drew it perfectly? Can you define the weight of moving parts?

          If you're stuck in a rut: 1) Consult the documentation* 2) Google it 3) Ask a sensible question 4) Try an ancient ritualistic knowledge summoning (:badger::badger::badger:) dance :jig: 5) Phone :bob: * - If the documentation is MSDN > 6.0 then forget it!

            By googling what he said at the beginning, I managed to find this[^] and this[^] (pdf links) I'll see if I can find anything more.. [edit] This guy's page[^] has more pdfs (follow the publications link - damn framesets!) [/edit] [edit2] lots of stuff here[^] - including a promising looking "toolkit.zip" - contains a java sketch tool that does the shape recognition, but doesn't seem to contain the physics stuff - I guess that must be a different course! -- modified at 11:06 Thursday 5th October, 2006 -- modified at 11:12 Thursday 5th October, 2006

                This is a video of a guy doing a demo - I don't think the same video would be available on their company page - also I don't think they even mentioned where you can download or buy it from.
