This video shows various simulations of a classic steel reinforced concrete building design in a scenario of strong seismic activity.
The simulation is done in Blender with my Bullet engine based Dynamic Fracture system. Now it is working together with rigid body constraints, thus making it compatible with prefracturing based systems like the fracture modifier and the Bullet Constraints Tools addon.
What is this good for, you ask? Well, since Dynamic Fracture always attempts to fracture one object as a whole it can lead to undesired results when fracturing huge structures like complex buildings merged into one mesh. Now one can use a mix of both methods.
Edit:
You can do all this now with Fracture Modifier and Bullet Constraints Builder add-on which can also generate earthquake motion.
