Abstract
A method is disclosed for executing a physics simulation in a system comprising a computational platform, a main application stored in the computational platform, a secondary application stored in the computational platform, and a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) application programming interface (API) implemented in the computational platform. The method defines a SPH call in the SPH API, and by operation of the main application, invokes a software routine using the SPH call. Additionally, by operation of the secondary application, a state of the physics simulation is updated in response to the software routine.
