Chrono::Engine is a part of Project Chrono. It is a library for physical simulation of complex mechanisms with parts, constraints, contacts and collisions.

• cross-platform C++ API
• fast and efficient multi-body dynamics
• wide set of constraints between parts
• motors and forces can be added to the mechanism
• collision shapes and frictional contact
• time integration based on non-smooth dynamics (DVI)
• real-time visualization or ray-tracing postprocessing
• modularity: optional units can be built for special purposes (postprocessing, cosimulation, FEM, etc.)
• wrapper for Python scripting
• demo code explaining how to develop third party applications

You can find instructions about the installation and the build toolchain at the Wiki

See the tutorials for examples of C++ code using the Chrono:::Engine library.
