Modules for analysing and testing how objects should behave in the real world.
- Finite element analysis - for detailed analysis of effects such as stress, strain, thermal transfer and electromagnetism
- Computational fluid dynamics
- Physics engine - for more simplistic but 'realtime' simulation and user interaction, such as gravity, friction and collision detection
- Kinematics - models motion of moving parts
- Dynamics - models motion and forces of moving parts
