More Highlights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Object cohesion, how tightly bound together an object is, is now simulated based on its composition. This impacts object deformation and fragmentation rates and\u00a0 prevents fast spinning objects like asteroid 2014 RC<\/a> from immediately ripping themselves apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
