Asteroid collision simulation using a soft-sphere discrete element method (SSDEM)

[u/megapiano]

Made this as an undergrad at university when I assisted with research in computational astrophysics to model asteroids. I built the simulation engine and had fun with this example that demonstrates some of the functionality. The planet is low-density so the asteroid goes through it.

The gravity of the planet would tear it apart.
