The '''Open Dynamics Engine (ODE)''', is a [[real-time computing|real-time]] [[physics engine]] [[software development kit]]. Its two main components are a [[rigid body dynamics]] simulation engine and a [[collision detection]] engine. It is [[free software]] licensed both under the [[BSD license]] and the [[LGPL]].

ODE was started in 2001 and has already been used in many applications and games, such as [[BloodRayne 2]].

Supported Geometries:

* Box

* Sphere

* Capsule (cylinder capped with hemispheres)

Capsule

* Trimesh(although (dynamic trimesh and trimesh-tribeshtrimesh collisions are still incomplete)

* Cylinder (currently in the unstable release)
