Abstract
A system and method are provided for distributed physics based simulation wherein a number of stations are connected via a network. When the simulation detects that a weapon, especially a missile or directed energy beam, is engaging a target vehicle, a single physics station is assigned the determination of the damage status of a target vehicle in the vicinity of the weapon. The detonation or strike of the weapon is applied to a model of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is composed of pieces each made up of a number of parts, and damage is assessed. Where the damage to a piece of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold, the piece is removed from the vehicle, and where a predetermined maximum damage is reached for the vehicle, the vehicle is destroyed in the simulation. The damage assessment from the weapon is made using raytracking component of a physics engine that is also used to control movement of virtual objects in the simulation according to rules of physics of the physics engine.
