Faust Physical Modeling Toolkit
Overview
The Faust Physical Modeling ToolKit is a collection tools to facilitate the design of physical models with the Faust programming language. Its two main components are:
- the Faust Physical Modeling Library and related examples
- mesh2faust: a tool to turn CAD files into modal physical models compatible with the Faust Physical Modeling Library
Additional Resources
- Making Physical Models of Musical Instruments With Faust Tutorial
- mesh2faust Documentation
- Faust Physical Modeling Library Documentation

Bells Physical Models
As part of the Resonance and Remembrance: An Interdisciplinary Bell Studies Symposium that took place at the University of Michigan between March 31 and April 3 2017, we made a collection of bell physical models using mesh2faust. They are presented in this section. The source code and the description of the full model collection can be downloaded here.
The slides of our presentation on "Faust Foundry: A Software Kit to Make Bell Physical Models for Musical Applications" can be found here.
