Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – spring-mass-damper system model – part#5
In this tutorial, most of the calculations for the numerical simulation a SMD (spring-mas-damper) system will be consolidated into a single formula, the coordinate formula. In this case, in order to calculate the coordinate at the end of a any time step, we will need just the coordinates from the previous two time steps and of course the input parameters (constants). These… Read More... "Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – spring-mass-damper system model – part#5"
Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – spring-mass-damper system model – part#4
This tutorial explains the principles to generating animation for the spring-mass-damper system analyzed in the previous presentations. [sociallocker][/sociallocker] A casual approach to numerical modeling – part #4 – a Spring-Mass-Damper-System – creating the animation by George Lungu – We are trying to generate animation for the system sketched above knowing the deviation from the equilibrium function of time. This deviation is… Read More... "Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – spring-mass-damper system model – part#4"
Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – a spring-mass-damper system model – part#3
Here is the third part of a tutorial in both elementary dynamics and numerical methods. It is written at a basic level and it shows you how to set up a dynamic model for numerical solving of simple differential equations. The dynamic model makes use of an infinite loop, which make the calculations advance in time. Instead of a large table… Read More...

Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – a spring-mass-damper system model – part#2
Here is the second part of a tutorial in both elementary dynamics and numerical methods. It is written at a basic level and it shows you how to solve a system of difference equations in an Excel table. It also starts to explain how to animate the model. [sociallocker][/sociallocker] A casual approach to numerical modeling – the Spring-Mass-Damper System – part 2.… Read More...

Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – a spring-mass-damper system model – part#1
Here is the first part of a casual tutorial in both elementary dynamics and numerical methods. It is written at a very basic level and it shows you how to solve a system of difference equations with a pencil and a paper and perhaps a pocket calculator to speed things up. A casual approach to numerical modeling – the Spring-Mass-Damper-System –… Read More... "Casual Introduction to Numerical Methods – a spring-mass-damper system model – part#1"
3-Body Planetary System with Options
Here is a 3-body system with 3D graphics. This model works at about 30 frames/second in Excel 2003 on a modern PC. In Excel 2007 it will run 10-15 times slower. I know 2010 is a lot faster than 2007. I need to add few more features. I am also thinking of adding a 3D gravitational surface map later (like… Read More... "3-Body Planetary System with Options"
