Carambol shots - 3D contact

[VladimirPalffy]

This video was created in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 using the new 3D contact capability (including full material properties, Youngs modulus, damping, friction etc)

Vladimir, great video, thank you for sharing! It's great to see the table branded Pro/ENGINEER too

Great animation. Now, you have to tell us how you did it. Are those balls following a path, is this a key frame type animation?

[VladimirPalffy]

Hello Luke, every other ball has 6DOF. Between balls, billiard cue and table is defined 3D contact (new feature in ProE WF5). Velocity of balls is defined by the energy of biliard cue.

Animations was made separately and then merged to one video.
