Free simulation software for mac

Wave Simulation 1.0 is developed as a smart program which is simulative to a wave disturbance propagating on a two dimensional membrane. The program uses a timer to step the simulation. At each step a two dimensional wave equation is solved by using a finite differencing scheme that is space centered and time forward. The initial conditions have been exaggerated for better visibility in the OpenGL output. See the commentary in the source code for further details. The idea here is to demonstrate simple numerical processing and scientific visualization in a Cocoa based application.

The program structure uses the Model/View/Controller paradigm. The classes for this structure are grouped under one heading and the various support classes are grouped under another heading. The View part of the program combines the user interface (UI) and the OpenGL rendering. The GLView class is a wrapper, i.e., sub-class, around the NSOpenGLView class that gives the class the ability to render, among other things, a mesh that is passed in from an outside source.

The view point and lighting that the GLView class uses in its rendering is also provided from outside. The visible part of the GLView in the UI is an outlet for the rendering. Also, the GLView object has been set up so that a mouse click in the visible rendering area toggle betwever, each update cycle is quick enough to justify a single threaded structure for the program.

An important characteristic of this program is that the OpenGL rendering is encapsulated in two parts of the program: the GLView class and the DrawingFunctions.h module. All of the other support classes make no reference to OpenGL. The Avian class is meant to capture the concept of an extended physical body that can have a location in 3D space as well as an orientation.

The FlyingCamera class is based on the Avian class and provides it with extras that are appropriate for handling views from various positions and orientations. The Mesh and MeshNode clases are also divorced from OpenGL. A GLView object 'knows' what to do with FlyingCamera and Mesh objects, but not vice versa. Also, the Controller object 'knows' how to relate user input, via the steppers, to FlyingCamera settings.

This program is also provides a good way to waste enormous quantities of time. The membrane uses a material that is meant to be a fair approximation of ruby. When the light is set to, say, colatitude equal to 35 degrees and longitude equal to 200 degrees the surface shows some nice highlights. Be warned: this program can induce a hypnotic state in the unwary user.

Noble Ape Simulation 0.690 offers you a biological simulation with cognitive processes. The Noble Ape Simulation creates a random island environment and simulates the ape inhabitants of the islands cognitive processes.

The aim of the simulation is to create a detailed biological environment and a cognitive simulation. The Simulation is open source and features the Ocelot landscape rendering engine.

The Mars Simulation Project is a free software Java project to create a simulation of future human settlement of Mars.
The simulation is a multi-agent artificial society set in a detailed virtual world.
Mars Simulation lets the user to modify the simulation options thanks to the Project XML configuration files.

System requirements:
-

Enhancements
- This is a maintenance release adding DTDs for XML config files and switching XML parsing over to JDom.

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

simjava is a process based discrete event simulation package for Java, similar to Jades Sim++, with animation facilities.
A simjava simulation is a collection of entities each running in its own thread. These entities are connected together by ports and can communicate with each other by sending and receiving event objects.
A central system class will control all the threads, advance the simulation time, and deliver the events. The progress of the simulation is recorded through trace messages produced by the entities and saved in a file.

System requirements:
-

Enhancements
- Simulation occurs in lockstep with animation (no more reading trace and pause before animation starts)
- java beans for displaying + storing simulation results.
- JAR bundling of the simjava packages.
- More examples.
- A 2D Graph bean. (new since the alpha release)
- Improved simulation speed and support for native threads.

FieldLines is a simulation of the electric field lines between charged particles. Physics never looked so good.
FieldLines is an OpenGL screensaver.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug in the way that FieldLines initialized OpenGL that caused the screen saver to not work under certain video hardware configurations.
- Fixed a typo in the English localization.
- Fixed a problem where the frames were drawn out of sync, which caused video tearing.
- Removed the "check for update" button.
- FieldLines now runs on Intel-based Macs.

The NASA Space Weather Laboratory SWAN (Space Weather Awareness at NASA) Widget displays images, plots, etc. of both observational data as well as model simulation data.
Model Simulation Data is derived from real time simulations at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The models are provided by the research community.
The NASA Space Weather Laboratory SWAN Widget can display real time plots for the following regions by selecting the corresponding button:
- Solar
- Heliosphere
- Magnetosphere
- Ionosphere
There is also a "Media" button that will display content for a selected event or other relevant Space Weather news.
The loop button allows the user to switch between cycling through the available plots or displaying a single plot. A green indicator light activates whenever the cycle/loop mode is on.
The Backside of the Widget allows the user to select the loop interval - either 5,10, or 30 seconds.
System requirements:
- Internet Connection

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.1 or later
