A Real Time Java3D Physical Pendulum simulation that calculates the angular position, velocity, acceleration, energies, and phase plots using fourth order Runga Kutta physics engine. The applet features a swing based user interface and real time plots of the relevant parameters VS time. I will be including a short explanation of the physics involved in the tabbed pane. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions or if you find any bugs...

If you have a Java3d compatible JRE and the appropriate Java Plugin then make sure you have the Java Console enabled and CLICK HERE. There are instructions for running it at the bottom of the next page.

If the applet doesn't load then you can download the applet jar file and then type jar -xvf Pendulum.jar in the command line of the directory you installed to and read the README file for instructions.

You can also use your appletviewer if you don't have the appropriate runtime plugin. Just type appletviewer http://www.physics.unlv.edu/~manyoso/pend.html

If all else fails then email me and i will send you the source and you can compile it and run it on your native machine.

You can view the src code without the engine View the source
