The constraint stiffnesses in PBD [Müller+07] are dependent on the number of iterations for constraint solving. As the number of iterations increases, the constraints become infinitely stiff regardless of the stiffness
parameters. This issue makes the parameter tuning difficult.
XPBD [Macklin+16] resolves this issue. As the number of iterations increases, the constraint stiffnesses converge to some (non-infinitely-stiff) states in accordance with the compliance
parameters. This property makes the parameter tuning easier and more consistent.

This library supports wind effects for cloth simulation. This library calculates aerodynamic "drag" and "lift" forces based on the model used in Disney's Frozen [Wilson+14].
