Re: Spoken Rubbish
This is strange. I dowloaded my version from the forum and the program worked. Then a downloaded your version from the forum and it worked; after commenting out your “do until” addition, it still worked. I use iPadOS 17.7.5 (21H420) and SmartBasic 6.9. (I used the “debug pause” to inspect the conten...

Re: Two springs & weights "piggy backed"
Hi, Yes, the “air friction” is just there to get a stable proces (wich remains within limits). It turns out, that there is a precise value of the “Cd” coefficient for each combination of body masses and spring constants. I deliberately used V in stead of V^2, because the friction must always be coun...

Re: Two springs & weights "piggy backed"
Hi,
You don’t need the “copy all” feature. You may select the whole code in the code window “by hand”, and use copy/paste.

Re: Two springs & weights "piggy backed"
To study the (in)stability of the discrete simulation, i made a “as simple as possible” model. Indeed, the method proves to be unstable for this physical casus. The instability decreases as the duration of the time slice (dt) gets smaller, and becomes stable in the end as dt approaches zero. To comp...

Re: Two springs & weights "piggy backed"
Hi Davey, You did quite a job on the “two body/two spring” object. I had a look at your method, the math, and the code, and have some remarks/sugestions. If the kinematics are done correctly, the system should remain within its limits, also without the correction due to air drag. Most important is a...
