Start here — representative simulators
Projectile Motion
Change launch angle and speed and watch range and trajectory update instantly.
Beam Deflection
Compute deflection and bending moment diagrams from load, section, and supports.
Reynolds Number
Enter velocity, diameter, and fluid to judge laminar vs turbulent flow.
Heat Diffusion
Watch a 2-D temperature field evolve in real time.
Double Pendulum (Chaos)
Feel chaos: tiny initial differences lead to wildly different orbits.
Lorenz Attractor
Draw the butterfly-shaped icon of chaos theory in 3D.
Mohr's Circle
Understand principal and max shear stresses graphically from a stress state.
PID Controller
Tune gains and watch overshoot and settling time respond.
