Jan 1, 2026January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for RobotLocomotion/drake focused on expanding modeling capabilities and improving simulation fidelity. Key features delivered include parsing support for linear spring-damper elements in SDFormat and URDF, enabling users to model multibody systems with spring-damper connections; and an accuracy boost for FEM external force integration by enabling additional quadrature points, improving results for deformable models. Both items were implemented via targeted commits, enabling broader application in design and analysis workflows.

Dec 1, 2024Concise monthly summary for 2024-12 focusing on delivering a feature to enable/disable deformable bodies in Drake simulation, with an end-to-end example demonstrating the workflow. No major bugs fixed this month. The work enhances simulation fidelity and performance by allowing deformables to participate in contact computations or be excluded when not needed, enabling faster scenario testing and more accurate modeling of contact interactions. Technologies demonstrated include the Drake simulation framework, deformable body physics, end-to-end workflow, and code collaboration (commit 2ae5ce594cf04a74eef5dfdd16cbdb46c13de169).
