I’m currently learning Python, but in the meantime I still want to try a simple simulation of my ideas. I just need a program that lets me create particles and forces with whatever properties and interactions I want that I can then simulate. For example, I might make a particle that attracts certain particles and repels others according to some equation. I already tried asking in softwareoptions, by the way

    Could you elaborate on what you want to make? If it’s lots of particles (thousands) then look into DEM software like ansys rocky or LIGGGHTS

      I basically just want to use some point particles that I already have equations for interaction for. They’re kind of like the elemental particles of our universe, just with different properties. I’d also want to have more general forces like, for example, an equivalent to gravity. What I want to do is just start a “universe” with these particles and forces and some starting conditions and see what emerges.
