Artificial Gravity Simulation

Modern science greatly evolved with the help of the computer, especially since it can process countless amounts of data in mere seconds. This makes it possible to perform high-quality simulations, which are even useful in educations. For instance, Artificial Gravity Simulation aims to teach you about the Newtonian laws in an artificial environment.

For starters, the application saves you the entire effort of going through a setup process, and thus makes it possible to have it carried around on a thumb drive along with other research details which might be of interest. Just be sure to check whether or not the computer you use it on is fitted with .NET Framework, otherwise functionality is not ensured.

Moreover, the application main window can take up quite a bit of space and can’t be resized, so it’s a good idea to free some of the desktop space while the simulation is underway so analysis is properly performed. On the other hand, accommodation is a walk in the park, given you have at least minimum physics knowledge, since variables and functions are shown with related symbols, which not everybody understands.

Unfortunately, the visual design is pretty poor, and the level of detail in terms of descriptions leaves much to be desired. The canvas is a Cartesian plane on which an animated object falls according to simulation details. There is some degree of control over the entire operation, and you’re free to try out a few different variables to fully understand what changes do.

Gravity indice needs to be specified, as well as height, radius, and inclination of the object. The simulation starts at the press of a button, with the object leaving a trace in its path to be analyzed. However, without any gradations or rulers, accuracy is lost somewhere along the way. What’s more, there are no export options, so all simulations are temporary.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Artificial Gravity Simulation comes with good intentions, requiring minimum effort for input, given you know what all details mean. However, with little to no other measurement options, or the possibility to save, the application’s overall practicality has a lot to suffer.
