METECS is proud to announce the release of version 2.0 beta of PONG. Congratulations to the employees who have put so much great work into this tool.

PONG is a contact dynamics modeling tool that communicates and interacts with Blender, an open source graphics package. PONG takes the creations of users within Blender and exports data files to a real-time contact dynamics engine that can be embedded into simulations. This engine will provide for detection of contact as well as calculation of contact and frictional forces. Also, tools for visualization within Blender are included. With all of these capabilities, PONG has been used to support NASA's need for engineering analysis and training with NASA's TRICK simulations.

METECS would like to graciously thank everyone who has contributed to the development, testing, and usage of the tool thus far. We looks forward to their continued support as we work to move PONG v2.0 out of beta in the coming months.
