class space.Space(n: int, dens: float, dt: float, G: float = 6.6743e-11, epsilon: float = 1e-06)

Class describing a space in which move several bodies.

Parameters:

  • __dt (float) – Time step (in s).

  • __G (float) – Universal gravity constant (in m³ / kg /s²).

  • __epsilon (float) – Numerical precision.

  • bodies (list) – Bodies list.
