Overview

PERIDYNO is a CUDA-based, highly parallal physics engine targeted at providing real-time simulation of physical environments for intelligent agents.

Installation

Platforms

Windows 10: fully tested

Linux: should work as well, yet not guranteed.

Prerequisites:

IDE:

• Visual studio 2017+

CUDA:

• Latest tests were done based on CUDA Toolkit 11.4, should be compatible will other old version.

Graphics:

• glad: https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad.git
• glfw: https://github.com/glfw/glfw
• imgui: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

Optional:

• Qt: https://download.qt.io/
• VTK: https://github.com/Kitware/VTK
• Alembic: https://github.com/alembic/alembic
• Imath: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/Imath

Installation:

Aside from those optional, other libraries are integrated inside the project to simplify the installation. Use the following git command to down the project as well as other dependences.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/peridyno/peridyno.git

Build the project:

Check whether CMake has been installed on your system, if not, visit https://cmake.org/download/ to download the lastest version.

Preferred: Run cmake-gui.exe, set the top two entries with the source code and binary directories. Configure the libararies you want to build, then click the Generate button to build the project.

A more convient way to build the project with a default setting is as follows

cd peridyo/build 
cmake ..
