DynamicsLab Package
DynamicsLab is a Maple package for simulation of dynamical systems, contributed by Forhad Ahmed, a senior at Columbus Alternative High School.
It provides routines for building and simulating a physical system one step at a time, including
- Adding point-masses to the system with given mass, position and velocity
- Adding springs between masses with given stiffness
- Specifying the dimensions along which each mass is free to move
- Setting gravitational forces and air resistance
- Animating and graphing the behavior of the system over time
The package includes 4 example simulations and 3 lab activities
