35 Numerical simulation Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg algorithm (4 th order method) Computes both 4 th order and 5 th order Error estimate (difference between 4 th and 5 th order) Adapts stepsize if the error is too big Despite these upgrades: - Numerical instability (violation of constraint) Thread exchanged with very hard spring The lenght of thread stays constant in simulation & spring does not influence character of motion 36
