int getNumParticles ()

Returns the total number of particles that constitute the body.

Return value

The number of particles.

float getAngularRestitution ()

Returns the current restitution of the body's inner joints, when triangles formed by particles are folded angularly relative to each other.

Returns the current restitution of the body's inner joints by linear stretching.

Return value

Joints linear restitution.

float getRigidity ()

Returns the current rigidity of the body's inner joints movement, i.e. how much interpolated linear and angular velocities of all joints corrects velocities of each separate joint.
