Abstract :
The paper discusses SiLVIA simulation library. The main purpose of SiLVIA is to supply procedures for simulating the dynamics of colliding rigid bodies and the interactive manipulation of these bodies in virtual environments. Detecting collisions between virtual objects and calculating their reaction to these collisions play an important role in VR applications such as ergonomy, studies or virtual assembly simulations
