StepCore
4.0
Overview
StepCore is a physical simulation library. StepCore focuses on accurate simulations with error estimations but still tries to be lightweight and fast. Currently StepCore can simulate two-dimensional classical mechanics.StepCore provides collection of physical bodies and forces which can be used in simulations and collections of exchangeable solvers with various integration algorithms. It can be easily extended with new bodies, forces and solvers.
