What is Physion?

Physion is a powerful free physics simulation software that can be used to support STEM education. With its intuitive interface and advanced physics engine, Physion provides an engaging platform for students to explore physical phenomena and experiment with different scenarios in a virtual environment.

One of the key features of Physion is its ability to create a wide range of interactive physics simulations using simple drawing tools. This means that users can easily create objects by drawing shapes such as rectangles, circles, polygons, regular polygons, and more. These objects can then be linked together using joint constraints such as axles, rods, pulleys, and springs to simulate real-world interactions.

Physion is not just a tool for creating fun physics simulations, it's also a valuable educational software that can help students to learn about the principles of physics and engineering. With its powerful physics engine, Physion provides a realistic environment in which students can explore the behavior of physical objects and experiment with different scenarios.

Whether you are a student, teacher, or hobbyist, Physion is the perfect tool for anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of physics. With its intuitive interface, advanced physics engine, and support for scripting with JavaScript, the possibilities are endless. So why not give it a try and see what kind of amazing physics simulations you can create!
