The CORDIS ANIMA formalism allows to model physical objects according to a modular methodology which guaranties, at each step of modeling, the energetic consistency of the behavior of the model. Maintening this energetic consistency is a crucial point in the use of interactive simulation by means of Physical Modeling and Force Feedback Gesture Devices. This paper presents a CORDIS-ANIMA model of bowed string, which closely links the properties of the produced sounds to the gesture and energetic investment of the player. A pertinent feature of real bowed instruments is their high sensitivity to the gesture dynamic. The proposed model restitutes this sensitivity providing high musical quality and nuances in the synthetic sounds. In addition, the use of the consistent physically-based modular designing presented here, allows the designer to lead towards a minimal physical model able to restitute this so pertinent feature.
