N-body AstroPySolver

A program for simulating the gravitational interaction of celestial bodies in python.

Description

A program written in the python programming language to simulate the gravitational interaction of bodies using Newton’s law of universal gravitation. There are default configurations, and you can also add new and edit configurations.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• The following Python packages are required for the program to work:
  numpy, math, os, yaml, decimal, datetime, shutil, argparse, matplotlib, astroquery, skyfield.
  To install packages, use the command: pip install "package-name" Where package-name is the name of the package you want to install.\
• FFmpeg must also be installed for the program to work. Installation instructions can be found on the Internet.

📦Installing

• To copy this project to you computer type:

git clone https://gitflic.ru/project/astroklass/n-body-astro-py.git

🚀Executing program

Windows

To start program in windows type:

cd .\n-body-astro-py\

and then

python -m src.main --case "path"

Where path is the path to the case that needs to be launched.

Linux

To start program in linux type:

python3 -m src.main --case=path

Where path is the path to the case that needs to be launched.

The calculation results will be located in the results/case-name_date folder, Where case-name is the name of the running configuration, date is the current date and time.
