Position based dynamics is far more than just Verlet integration though. The meat of the algorithm has to do with dealing with various constraints (which is done by sequentially projecting positions related to each constraint while adhering to both the constraint and Newton’s laws (momentum conservation). PBD’s main strength is that it can incorporate various types of constraints at once with relatively simple code and good performance.
