element

Elements are building blocks of composite systems.

See also
Supported general-purpose elements, Main page of the elements module

They come in two flavours:

free

Elementary free subsystem, where “free” means that the system has only one quantum number

See also
Supported general-purpose free elements, structure::Free

This kind of element can be used for simulating in itself.

interaction

An interaction of arbitrary arity between such free systems.

See also
Supported general-purpose interaction elements, structure::Interaction

composite

System composed of several free elements linked by interaction elements

script

High-level C++ program assembling the modules necessary for a given problem domain. E.g. specification of a particular physical system and of what to do with it – how to simulate it. It uses the framework as a library.

dc-mode

The trajectory is run in such a way that a fixed number (dc) of adaptive steps are performed between two displays.

deltaT-mode

The trajectory is run in such a way that a fixed timestep (deltaT) is performed between two displays.
