Dynamics Playground
The Dynamics Playground enables students to simulate dynamic systems. In this way, an understanding of the behavior of dynamic systems can be built up in a playful way, without the need to perform complex calculations. The simulations are performed using Jupyter notebooks via Python on the JupyterHub of RWTH Aachen.
Motivation
Based on the course content from Fundamentals of Dynamics of Machines and Structural Dynamics, short GMSD the Dynamics Playground provides students with an opportunity to develop a playful understanding of dynamics.
Goal
The goal of the Dynamics Playground is to illustrate the contents from Fundamentals of Dynamics of Machines and Structural Dynamics. For this purpose, the behavior of dynamic systems is visualized depending on the choice of parameters and the excitation.
Approach
The web-based simulation of dynamic systems via the JupyterHub of RWTH Aachen is end-device independent and does not require the installation of development environments.
