The Bullet Constraints Builder (BCB) extends Blender´s basic physics functionality with a sophisticated toolset to simulate load dynamics in building structures. It establishes constraining connections between rigid bodies that incorporate real world behavior and parameters. The BCB is
suitable to simulate the effects of major structural deficiency such as the failure of load bearing elements like beams or pillars. To some extend it may also be used to simulate more subtle deficiencies such as the underdesigned strength of an overall structure. The BCB is a work in progress. The tool has been validated by comparison to a few real collapse
cases in which the simulation results showed a very good affinity to the real-world collapse shapes. However, virtual collapse simulation in general can't claim absolute authenticity and the results of this tool should be used with careful consideration if it is used in critical applications.

The BCB has a rich set of functionalities that allow specialists to setup respectively adapt building models and define the interdependencies between the structural elements. Nevertheless, the tool can also be used by amateurs. With a few simple steps the user can load predefined models, setup own collapse scenarios and start the simulation to observe the effects.
