{{task|Temporal media}}{{requires|Graphics}} One good way of making an animation is by simulating a physical system and illustrating the variables in that system using a dynamically changing graphical display. The classic such physical system is a [[wp:Pendulum|simple gravity pendulum]].

For this task, create a simple physical model of a pendulum and animate it.

Ada

This does not use a GUI, it simply animates the pendulum and prints out the positions. If you want, you can replace the output method with graphical update methods.

X and Y are relative positions of the pendulum to the anchor.

E

{{works with|E-on-Java}} (Uses Java Swing for GUI. The animation logic is independent, however.)

The angle \theta of a pendulum with length L and acceleration due to gravity g with all its mass at the end and no friction/air resistance has an acceleration at any given moment of :\frac{d^2}{dt^2}\theta = -\frac{g}{L} \sin \theta This simulation uses this formula directly, updating the velocity from the acceleration and the position from the velocity; inaccuracy results from the finite timestep.

The event flow works like this: The ''clock'' object created by the simulation steps the simulation on the specified in the interval. The simulation writes its output to angle, which is a ''Lamport slot'' which can notify of updates. The ''whenever'' set up by makeDisplayComponent listens for updates and triggers redrawing as long as ''interest'' has been expressed, which is done whenever the component actually redraws, which happens only if the component's window is still on screen. When the window is closed, additionally, the simulation itself is stopped and the application allowed to exit. (This logic is more general than necessary; it is designed to be suitable for a larger application as well.)

RLaB

The plane pendulum motion is an interesting and easy problem in which the facilities of RLaB for numerical computation and simulation are easily accessible. The parameters of the problem are L, the length of the arm, and g the magnitude of the gravity.

We start with the mathematical transliteration of the problem. We solve it in plane (2-D) in terms of \theta describing the angle between the z-axis and the arm of the pendulum, where the downwards direction is taken as positive. The Newton equation of motion, which is a second-order non-linear ordinary differential equation (ODE) reads :\ddot\theta = -\frac{g}{L} \sin \theta In our example, we will solve the problem as, so called, initial value problem (IVP). That is, we will specify that at the time ''t=0'' the pendulum was at rest \dot\theta(0)=0, extended at an angle \theta(0)=0.523598776 radians (equivalent to 30 degrees).

RLaB has the facilities to solve ODE IVP which are accessible through ''odeiv'' solver. This solver requires that the ODE be written as the first order differential equation, :\dot u = f(u) Here, we introduced a vector u = [\theta, \dot\theta] = [u_1, u_2], for which the original ODE reads :\dot\theta = \dot u_1 = u_2 = f_1(u) :\ddot\theta = \dot u_2 = -\frac{g}{L} \sin \theta = -\frac{g}{L} \sin u_1 =f_2(u). The RLaB script that solves the problem is


//
// example: solve ODE for pendulum
//

// we first define the first derivative function for the solver
dudt = function(t, u, p)
{
  // t-> time
  // u->[theta, dtheta/dt ]
  // p-> g/L, parameter
  rval = zeros(2,1);
  rval[1] =  u[2];
  rval[2] = -p[1] * sin(u[1]);
  return rval;
};

// now we solve the problem
// physical parameters
L  = 5;  // (m), the length of the arm of the pendulum
p  = mks.g / L;  // RLaB has a built-in list 'mks' which contains large number of physical constants and conversion factors
T0 = 2*const.pi*sqrt(L/mks.g); // approximate period of the pendulum

// initial conditions
theta0 = 30;  // degrees, initial angle of deflection of pendulum
u0 = [theta0*const.pi/180, 0];  // RLaB has a built-in list 'const' of mathematical constants.

// times at which we want solution
t = [0:4:1/64] * T0;  // solve for 4 approximate periods with at time points spaced at T0/64

// prepare ODEIV solver
optsode = <<>>;
optsode.eabs   = 1e-6;      // relative error for step size
optsode.erel   = 1e-6;      // absolute error for step size
optsode.delta_t = 1e-6;     // maximum dt that code is allowed
optsode.stdout = stderr();  // open the text console and in it print the results of each step of calculation
optsode.imethod = 5;        // use method No. 5 from the odeiv toolkit, Runge-Kutta 8th order Prince-Dormand method
//optsode.phase_space = 0;    // the solver returns [t, u1(t), u2(t)] which is default behavior
optsode.phase_space = 1;    // the solver returns [t, u1(t), u2(t), d(u1)/dt(t), d(u2)/dt]

// solver do my bidding
y = odeiv(dudt, p, t, u0, optsode);

// Make an animation. We choose to use 'pgplot' rather then 'gnuplot' interface because the former is
// faster and thus less cache-demanding, while the latter can be very cache-demanding (it may slow your
// linux system quite down if one sends lots of plots for gnuplot to plot).

{{trans|Tcl}} This does not have the window resizing handling that Tcl does -- I did not spend enough time in the docs to figure out how to get the new window size out of the configuration event. Of interest when running this pendulum side-by-side with the Tcl one: the Tcl pendulum swings noticibly faster.
