nMod Toolkit Redesign progress reports

nMod-ea Manual

The nMod n-Body Modelling Toolkit

This software is currently being completely redesigned and ported to c++, for more information see the redesign progress reports.

The nMod n-Body Modelling Toolkit provides software to run experiments in the field of n-Body modelling on a normal home computer.

This means modelling asteroid/comet motion, spacecraft flight, planetary systems, or stellar cluster/small galaxy systems.

The toolkit contains a Particle Particle n-Body model, an OpenGL viewer to display the output of the n-Body model, and a number of utilities for editing existing output files.

For tutorials on these tools and n-Body modelling in general, read the user manual. For information on the ongoing redesign which will result in version 4 of the toolkit, see the nMod Toolkit Redesign progress reports

The announcements page is where I report bug fixes and any news regarding the nMod Toolkit, so it's a good idea to visit this each time you come to the site.

Operating systems currently supported are Linux and Windows XP. The current stable nMod Toolkit version is 3.2.

For information on the changes in this release, see the announcements page.

Reference Builds are provided for the n-Body model and the viewer. These can be used for simple experiments. More advanced work (such as using evolutionary algorithms to discover an optimal orbit for a spacecraft) requires that you use nMod-ea. nMod-ea is an enhanced version of the nMod Toolkit specially designed for evolutionary algorithm based research. The current reference release is based on this new version.
