Physically-Based Modelling and Simulation of Track-based Main Battle Tank System for a realistic 3D Game

Abstract

This research aims for 3D modelling and simulation of the track-based in Main Battle Tank System (MBT). The MBT is based on the M60 Patton model. We interested in exploring the challenges in simulating the tank motions. We use Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) for the physics SDK. The results are the tank motions of the weight transfer acceleration and deceleration and can be used for a simulation and a realistic 3D game.
