Double pendulum simulation

To start simulation run main.py.

Description

This program simulates double pendulum dynamics with different initial parameters like: masses of balls, rods lengths and deflection angles. An interesting phenomena behind this process in a chaos behavior, when initial parameters has a huge influence of the future evolution.

How does it work

This program has 4 modules in \modules:

• pendulum.py Creates a pendulum instance and calculates its evolution in time solving differential equations with scipy.integrate.odeint.
• frames.py For each pendulum on each time step creates a shot with matplotlib and save it in \frames dir.
• window.py Draw a simple GUI with tkinter. And has a function simulation that integrates all of the program flow.
• gif_player.py Draw an animation in the tkinter window from files in \frames
