Description

Basic physics simulation platform with three modes: Freeform Mode, Tutorial Mode, and Review Mode.

• In Freeform Mode, users can set up basic simulations that are animated physically correctly.
• In Tutorial Mode, users can go through step-by-step tutorials explaining how to solve particular mechanics problems for different simulations.
• In Review Mode, users can solve example mechanics problem and animate simulations based on their answers to questions.

Simulation Types

• Projectiles
• Inclined planes
• Pendulums
• Springs
• Pulleys
• Weights suspended from two rods
• Weights undergoing circular motion

Access

Type colon on your canvas to invoke the node menu. Under “CREATE DOCUMENT”, select “SIMULATION” to create a default simulation.

Use

• The dropdown menus in the upper right corner of the simulation document can be used to change the simulation mode and type.
• The input fields on the left side of the document can be used to change the simulation parameters.
