We present a theory of qualitative rigid body mechanics and describe a program that uses this theory to compute qualitative dynamic simulations. The program works directly from a qualitative representation of geometry (qc-space). It employs a new qualitative representation for forces that reduces ambiguity in force sums and hence reduces branching.
