Magnetic Pendulum Description

The Magnetic Pendulum application was developed to be a small program which demonstrates the butterfly effect. What you need: - An interest in chaos theory. - A fast processor. - Hardware OpenGL support. - Quite some time. What you get: - A toy for creating pretty pictures and for playing - Configure models with any number of sources using INI files - You can abort and continue calculations All simulation parameters are read from an INI file which needs to be submitted as the single program parameter. The application opens a single window. Calculation starts immediately. Since waiting for the calculation result is quite boring, I built in some interactivity. So, whenever you move the mouse, a trace starting from the current mouse position is calculated and drawn into the application window. This is a toy, but can be quite useful to get an impression of the final picture by investigating certain starting points and the influence of small variations. If you came to this article looking for the butterfly effect, use this feature and watch the trace morph! Start or continue a calculation: Drag and drop one of the "*.cfg" files over SinPend.exe. When closing the application a directory with restore information is created. If restore information exist thex will be load automatically the next time a cfg file is started. Reset a calculation: Delete The "*.restore" directory in order to reset a calculation.
