dc.description.abstract	Please note that the full text is embargoed ABSTRACT: Tetrahedral tops and gyroscopes are simulated as discrete, rigid bodies in rotation by introducing a molecular mechanics formulation. The conservative, dynamical differential equations are solved numerically in such a fashion that all the system invariants are preserved. Examples which include precession and nutation are described and discussed.	en
