Software used for Reconstruction

[Saboi]

Hello guys,

On TV sometimes is shown a reconstruction of how an accident could have happened, for example, how a car overturned or an aeroplaned crashed. It is usually animation type.

Any idea what software is used to come up with such reconstructions?

Thanks in advance.

I guess this would require video editing software.  Does that sound right to you?

Hello soybean,

Thank you the the feedback.

I am afraid not. Maybe if you provide a little more information. Video Editing would entail I already have video's right? In this case my interest would be like to create "dummies" of, for example, showing how it may have overturned.

Thanks.

Well, I'm really not familiar with the software in this area.  Perhaps someone else can chime in.

Here's a Bunch...

High-end physics simulators, much like the ones used by engineers for wind-tunnel experiments, which simulate things such as lift/drag, temperature, torsion, etc.

i would take loads of photos at the scene then use some 3d modelling software to match up the positions and angles of the photos to reconstruct the scene as i saw it. many things can then be deduced from pen and paper physical calculations or with inbuilt physical simulators in the software.
