Density

What about density settings in GD SDK ?

It would be helpful to set Body's mass setting with density :
NewtonSetDensity( NewtonBody* body, dFloat Density )
{
Mass = Density * Volume;
}

Althought, Dentity is a prtical measure to use anaylitically, in pratice it is not usefull because most bodies do not really have a uniform denstity.

However if you wna to use density you can use NewtonGetVolume function to set the Mass using a density.

Use NewtonConvexCollisionCalculateVolume to calculate volume of a object.
