Ask HN: 3D physics simulator to fix custom wooden table

3 pointsby etamponialmost 4 years ago
Hello everyone,<p>When I am not working, I like to play the carpenter... Yesterday I finished building my first folding table, with a custom design I was so proud of. Unfortunately, once I was done I realized that the table is very wobbly. It looks like something generates a lot of torque on the legs (made of wood). I tried to make them stronger by adding some steel plates, but it didn&#x27;t work.<p>Before attempting more fixes, I&#x27;d like to simulate via software what would happen (for example: replacing wooden legs with steel legs). But I don&#x27;t know of any 3D physics engine that would allow me to do this kind of simulations.<p>Do you know something that might help me?

Go back and read basic woodworking texts because these are the sorts of things people have been solving for many years in a physics engine isn’t really going to speed up the process
