Any physics simulation software?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the availability of software for simulating physical phenomena. Participants explore various options, including both ready-made programs and the potential need for programming to create simulations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about software for simulating physical phenomena and mentions Physion as a limited option.
  • Another participant provides a link to a comprehensive list of simulation software available online.
  • A third participant expresses gratitude and indicates they will explore the suggested software.
  • A later reply introduces OpenModelica as a powerful tool for modeling systems, noting that it allows users to type modeling equations and connect functions, but also mentions a potentially steep learning curve.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on a single software solution, as multiple options and varying levels of complexity are discussed.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify the specific types of physical phenomena participants are interested in simulating, nor does it address the limitations or requirements of the mentioned software.

Who May Find This Useful

Is there any software for simulating physical phenomena?
I've googled it and found one named Physion.
It is great for fun but is too limited.
Would programming be the only way or is there some ready-made program that could provide an easy environment to develop simulations.

Thank you very much. I will check them out.
 
OpenModelica? I have not used it, but just read up on it and seems very powerful for modeling systems...you can simply type the modeling equations for your components and then connect the excitation/forcing function on one end and plot your results on the other...may have a pretty steep learning curve.
