Differences between Havok 1 and Havok 3
You can use either of two different dynamics solvers in reactor: Havok 1 or
Havok 3. To switch between them, choose the desired solver from the
drop-down list on the About rollout. The active solver is saved with the scene
file.
The difference between the two, in a nutshell, is that Havok 1 provides a
broader range of functionality, but Havok 3 is faster and more accurate. If
your simulation requires only rigid bodies, you'll generally get better results
with Havok 3.
