This video shows another validation case to test our Bullet Constraints Builder add-on for Blender with as part of our research. This add-on complements the Bullet physics engine in Blender and allows to attribute realistic structural dependencies between rigid body building elements such as pillars, walls, beams, slabs etc.

The INACHUS project is a European wide research project started in 2015, that examines measures to improve first response after building collapse in catastrophic events like earthquakes, storms, explosions, terror attacks etc.

"INACHUS" stands for:
Technological & Methodological Solutions for Integrated Wide Area Situation Awareness & Survivor Localization to Support Search & Rescue Teams
