Awesome! Several of my colleagues are working on differentiable physics simulations (mostly FEM type stuff for structural design optimization) so I’m excited to share this with them! They mostly work in Julia. My own experiments with auto-diff’d physics sims have been in Python (specifically, Taichi for the JIT/GPU acceleration or occasionally PyTorch/Jax).
Can you talk a little bit about the challenges of bringing something like what you’ve implemented to existing autograd engines/frameworks (like the ones previously mentioned)? Are you at all interested in exploring that as a mechanism for increasing access to your methodology? What are your thoughts on those autodiff engines?
