Abstract

This project is about analysis of physical phenomenon in blender physics simulation. The Rube Goldberg Machine model was constructed and simulated by  blender, data were collected  by tracker, and physical evaluation were analyzed by python (JupyterLab ). 9 phases of physical phenomenon will be analyzed in this report, which includes circular motion, torque, the law of energy conservation, elastic collision, totally inelastic collision, 2D projectile and free-fall.

Keywords

3D modeling, phsyical simulation, engineering, python scientific analysis, freefall
