Ask HN: Adoption of 'modern' C++ in physics/astro community
3 by beezle | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Long time away. Broadly speaking, looking to get current for computational physics. My Fortran is reasonable and likely easy to refresh, but I was never big into C (and less C++) so that requires a fresh start. I know adoption of new language features (let alone entire languages) can be glacial in many fields of physics and engineering. Where is the most reasonable point to start in C++? Is C++11 the sweet spot? Is most new code gravitating to at least that revision? Have legacy code bases been refactored and would going with C+11 hinder understanding of any that have not?

Ask HN: Toolbox or library for simulating classical mechanics problems?
33 by ducktective | 9 comments on Hacker News.
I'm looking for a toolbox or library to simulate classical mechanics problems usually found in textbooks. I want to for example see the oscillations of a usual double pendulum problem with ability to plot angles and forces at arbitrary positions. Or physical parameters of "box on a cart with friction" problem or real-time animation of a N-body problem. It'd be nice if it also supports 3d. 1- In summary, suppose someone wants to go through Landau-Lifshitz or Goldstein books and simulate the problems on his computer. What tools should he be looking for? 2- What is the keyword I should be searching for? Rigid Body Solver? Physics Engine? Numerical solvers of Lagrange (or Hamilton?) differential equations formulations? or should I be looking for Finite Element Methods? 3- It would be great if there is a MATLAB/python/C++ solution and not a full-blown software like COMSOL Thanks (x-post from /r/physics)
