+Simbody is a high-performance, open-source toolkit for science- and
+engineering-quality simulation of articulated mechanisms, including
+biomechanical structures such as human and animal skeletons, mechanical
+systems like robots, vehicles, and machines, and anything else that
+can be described as a set of rigid bodies interconnected by joints,
+influenced by forces and motions, and restricted by constraints.
+
+Simbody includes a multibody dynamics library for modeling motion
+in generalized/internal coordinates in O(n) time. This is sometimes
+called a Featherstone-style physics engine.
