Much research is put into researching the simulation of manufacturing systems and operations, typically Discrete Event Simulation for systems and machining simulations. These simulations are often limited to idealistic behavior within the systems (e.g., no physics involved) and infinitely rigid objects (e.g., no bending or other impacts from tools). This research presents a development of a simulator for soft bodies within a physics engine; the case studied is the effects of physics on fish within a production system. The developed simulator was benchmarked against a physical production system through a quantitative experiment, and the solution shows promising results in mimicking the behavior of fish within a production system. The research also suggests that data must be mapped to create an accurate digital representation of a fish.
