Beam Drive -

This paper explores the "beam-node" physics engine that defines BeamNG.drive . Unlike traditional rigid-body simulations, BeamNG uses a network of interconnected nodes and beams to simulate structural deformation and realistic vehicle dynamics.

Conclude that optimizing injection geometry is essential for the future of non-inductive plasma current sustainment.
