[ODE] StepFast1 documentation

[Antonio_Martini@scee.net]

I have been experimenting with this kind of iterative method(in my physics
engine) for a while a
i noticed some unacceptable contact jittering in the face->face contact
cases. Did anyone
find a similar problem in Ode? it's looks like that to be stable LCP solver
should be able to
solve at least 3 contact points for a face->face contact. this implies that
the iterative method should
solve the contacts between two objects in one single step(sub LCP problem)
rather that treating all
the contact points as independent.

Subject:    [ODE] StepFast1 documentation


Hey everybody,

I posted some documentation on the StepFast1 algorithm on my website at
http://www.csworkbench.com/stepfast-doc.html .  All constructive criticism
is welcomed.  Let me know if you want more or less explanation, graphics,
or anything.  Hmmm, I should probably say a little more about the
stepsize/iterations/autodisablethreshold relationship.

Russ, I came up with just post-fixing SF1 on the stepfast-1 specific
functions.... it's a few characters shorter anyway.  Let me know if that
will/won't work.

David
