BerliOS will close its services at the end of this year. The development of SimuVis was hosted there. Since my activities with SimuVis are already on hold, I decided not to move to another hosting platform. When I find the time and motivation for the development of SimuVis I may move to GitHub.
Polygon used in new VPython
I’m glad to see that the Polygon package is now used by the popular VPython software to support the creation of the new extrusion objects. The VPython authors even made a special license agreement that allows the use of GPC (and thus Polygon) free of charge for every purpose as part of the VPython distribution: [...]
Smooth transition between functions with tanh()
The problem to get a smooth transition between two curves appears very often. I had this problem a lot when working with simulations of DAE systems where some parameters were defined by empiric functions that did not fit well at the intersection point. An approach that is very easy to implement is the use of [...]
SimuVis
Note: The development was put on hold right now because of other projects. When I find the time I may continue with this project. SimuVis and its current implementation SimuVis4 is a framework and an interactive application for data handling, visualisation and simulations. It’s based on python as the programming language, Qt for the GUI, [...]
