BehaveRT

The framework BehaveRT allows to create a simulation:

Interactive: by using the computational power of commodity graphics hardware;
Generalized: by choosing the most suitable simulation engine's or by creating custonized ones;
Renderable: simulated object can be direclty rendered as billboards or 3D models
