[ODE] Re: Translating a mass does not produce desired results

[Ken F Endo]

Yes, this method can calculate the real motion. I have idea like this.
However, if this body get in contact with  the ground or other body, 
external force work
  where the geoms is.
I think this is so critical as the dynamics simulator.
