Understanding gauge in Lagrangian mechanics [duplicate]
I know given a Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}$ satisfying the Euler-Lagrange equations, then the Lagrangian $\mathcal{L}'=\mathcal{L}+\frac{d}{dt}f(q,t)$ is also a solution of said equations. Nonetheless, I ...

Evolution of rigid body system using Impulse Based integration [closed]
I have been reading about physics engines, I have a reasonably OK understanding force based models and 6 dof integration.
I'm still confused on how impulse based models work.
What define the equations ...
