Python implementation of Elastica, an open-source software for the simulation of assemblies of slender, one-dimensional structures using Cosserat Rod theory.
The Filter Damping method (adapted from here), which basically damps velocities similar to a low pass filter, has shown advantages (reduced noise, oscillations, and larger stable timesteps) in complex scenarios involving Cosserat rods, as noticed by @armantekinalp. Thus, adding this to the damping module (#114) can be an important factor in improving the stability of Cosserat rod simulations.
