I'm doing some computational astrophysics research, specifically modeling the effect of star novas on planetary motion and my problem is that I don't know the best way to do this.
The nature of this research consists of my extending a model already developed by my advisor, and the problem is that I want to translate this model into a simulation and I don't know what software to use. My advisor has given me full discretion in using whatever tools I need, so I thought I'd ask here since I don't know where else to ask. Since he hasn't stipulated the use of any software to model the research I want to take this opportunity to get experience with some of the FLOSS projects out there. What software do you think would be most useful for this project? Justin -- [email protected] mailing list
