83The world object is a container for rigid bodies and joints. Objects in different worlds can not interact, for example rigid bodies from two different worlds can not collide.<p>
84All the objects in a world exist at the same point in time, thus one reason to use separate worlds is to simulate systems at different rates. Most applications will only need one world. <hr><h2>Function Documentation</h2>

302<p>
303<dl class="remark" compact><dt><b>Remarks:</b></dt><dd>If you want to apply a linear or angular impulse to a rigid body, instead of a force or a torque, then you can use this function to convert the desired impulse into a force/torque vector before calling the BodyAdd... function. The current algorithm simply scales the impulse by 1/stepsize, where stepsize is the step size for the next step that will be taken. This function is given a dWorldID because, in the future, the force computation may depend on integrator parameters that are set as properties of the world. </dd></dl>

335<dl class="remark" compact><dt><b>Remarks:</b></dt><dd>This uses an iterative method that takes time on the order of m*N and memory on the order of m, where m is the total number of constraint rows N is the number of iterations. For large systems this is a lot faster than <a class="el" href="group__world.html#g8f547ebeb3deed27e0f7b8143d475f50" title="Step the world.">dWorldStep()</a>, but it is less accurate. <p>
336QuickStep is great for stacks of objects especially when the auto-disable feature is used as well. However, it has poor accuracy for near-singular systems. Near-singular systems can occur when using high-friction contacts, motors, or certain articulated structures. For example, a robot with multiple legs sitting on the ground may be near-singular. <p>
337There are ways to help overcome QuickStep's inaccuracy problems: <ul>
338<li>Increase CFM. </li>
339<li>Reduce the number of contacts in your system (e.g. use the minimum number of contacts for the feet of a robot or creature). </li>
340<li>Don't use excessive friction in the contacts. </li>
341<li>Use contact slip if appropriate </li>
342<li>Avoid kinematic loops (however, kinematic loops are inevitable in legged creatures). </li>
343<li>Don't use excessive motor strength. force-based motors instead of velocity-based motors.</li>
344</ul>
345Increasing the number of QuickStep iterations may help a little bit, but it is not going to help much if your system is really near singular. </dd></dl>
