  • elodin

    Physics simulation software for space + aerospace

  • You can try out the frontend online at https://app.elodin.systems/sandbox/hn/cube-sat or you can install the desktop version using pip: `pip install elodin` and then run `elodin editor cube_sat.py` against this file https://github.com/elodin-sys/elodin/blob/main/libs/nox-py/e...

  • JAXFLUIDS

    Differentiable Fluid Dynamics Package

  • You are completely correct; right now it is just mechanics that we have built out. But, there isn't any theoretical reason you couldn't use this framework for other types of simulation. In particular, the Monte Carlo runner is super flexible. Since we are based on JAX you can utilize a ton of the tooling that others have built in the physics space like https://github.com/tumaer/JAXFLUIDS or https://github.com/DifferentiableUniverseInitiative/jax_cosm... . The goal right now though is pretty firmly focused on controls engineers and their needs, but we envision this becoming broadly used.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
