Dynamics for SpaceClaim new features

Master complexity with superior dexterity

Since the last release of Dynamics for SpaceClaim we have received a lot of feedback from our users and many of them wanted better support for big and complex models. In the new version 1.3 we have made big speed-up improvements and added a couple of new features that will make working with large and complex models a lot easier and faster. The new tool, Color By Body, assigns a different color to each Rigid Body to help separate them visually, and the new grouping feature makes it a walk in the park to keep the Simulation Structure organized. We also now support KeyShot materials and have greatly improved the collision detection.
