Integrators

June 2016

Basic notions of simulation: investigating the effect of the different mathematical integrators. Press the following keys to activate/deactivate the different pendulums:

     "a/A" -> Euler
     "s/S" -> Semi-Implicit Euler
     "d/D" -> Heun
     "f/F" -> Runge-Kutta 2
     "x/X" -> Runge-Kutta 4

The difference between the last four methods is barely visible. The computational cost of the Semi-Implicit Euler is the lowest of the four, that's why it is one of the most used integrators.
