Brent, Thanks very much for taking the time to elaborate on the program. << There is no friction in the initial release. >> That's surprising. How do objects with mass in motion ever expend their energy, and come to a rest ? How does a ball roll, if not for the friction with the surface it's rolling on ? Etc, etc.. << Rigid body. However, an object chopped into many smaller objects may break apart after a collision. >> Is this triggered automatically ? Thanks again. BILL
