Explicit dynamics allows us to understand the physics of short-duration events. Events that take place in milliseconds or even less time, such as a ball hitting a racket, a phone falling to the ground, or a car crash, can be simulated using explicit dynamics. In this course, we'll discuss the theory behind explicit dynamics simulations. We'll start by understanding the differences between the implicit and explicit methods and when to use which method. Since explicit dynamics simulations don't check for force convergence, we'll learn how to check the energy balance of the system and make sure the solution is reasonably accurate. Next, we'll talk about undesirable behaviors like volumetric locking, shear locking, and hourglass behavior and ways to fix them. And finally, we'll learn how to tune the model parameters to get an optimal time step size that allows us to get accurate solutions in an efficient way.
