How to achieve this?

Hi Professor,
This is a fantastic project in my view. I have been doing ship collisions impact mechanics and wondering can I use your library to build a simple visualized platform for simulating ship collisions? The collision detection might be an issue as it may have to be tri-mesh based (or others?)
I'd like to use an impulse-based collision algorithm, including the Coulomb friction factor and energy calculation.
I have limited knowledge of programming though, any chance to discuss further?
Thanks!

Currently the collisions between rigid objects are handled by the PBD library. However, it is also possible to exchange this by any other rigid body library. You just need a wrapper class like our PBDWrapper. Alternatively you could also extend the PBD library, which already provides a collision detection, by a new collision handling method.
