## 10.2. Rigid Body Solution Algorithms

The rigid body solution algorithm uses a linear momentum solver for the translation of the rigid body and a separate angular momentum solver for the rotation of the rigid body. There are two choices for the angular momentum solver (a First Order Backward Euler solver and a Simo Wong solver).

The remainder of this section describes:

- Translational Equations of Motion
- Rotational Equations of Motion
