SolverOptions

The SolverOptions object allows you to customize the behaviour of the RBD solver. The option uses a group of numerical values (real or integer) that can be get or set. When used as a switch, 0 means off and 1 is on.

HandlePOCTransitionsWithEnergyMinimization

When point on curve joints are used, different solutions (depending on the topology) may be found when crossing curve connections. Furthermore, these solutions do not guarantee the conservation of the kinetic energy at the transition. To remedy this issue, this option makes the transitions using a method that minimizes the kinetic energy in a way similar to the assembly process using the inertia matrix. This solution works well for explicit time integration schemes, but it is not guaranteed for implicit ones. (=0, disabled by default)
