LightSailSim: Lightsail Design and Simulation Tool

This repository features a set of tools for analysing the deformation of membranes using a particle system model.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/markk116/LightSailSim.git
cd LightSailSim
pip install -e .

Navigate to the project directory:

cd LightSailSim

To verify everything works you can run

python Simulations\Gao_et_al.py

from the root directory.

Usage

Running simulations

Navigate to the Simulations directory and run the desired script:

cd Simulations
python Simple_config_round.py

To get started you can follow the tutorials. Tutorial 1 is a basic overview of the Particle System Model. Tutorial 2 demonstrates the setup of a Lightsail Simulation. Tutorial 3 is yet to be made, but will explain how to add new photonic crystals to LSS.
