⚙️ Dynamic-Systems-Analysis - Easy Vehicle Suspension Simulation

📖 What is Dynamic-Systems-Analysis?

Dynamic-Systems-Analysis is a simple application that helps you explore how car suspensions work. It uses math and simulation to model the behavior of a quarter-car suspension system. The program shows how the suspension reacts to bumps and vibrations using Laplace Transforms and Python tools.

You do not need to know programming to use this app. It comes ready to run and lets you see simulations of vehicle dynamics. This tool is useful for anyone curious about mechanical engineering concepts or how control systems manage vehicle ride quality.

🔧 Features at a Glance

• Simulates a quarter-car suspension system in real-time.
• Uses easy-to-understand graphs to show vibrations and responses.
• Provides numerical results based on well-established mechanical models.
• Saves results for later review in common file formats.
• Built with reliable Python packages, including SciPy.
• Includes LaTeX-generated reports explaining the math behind the model.
• Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux computers.
• No programming needed to open and use the application.

🖥️ System Requirements

To run this program smoothly on your computer, check if your system meets the requirements below:

• Operating System: Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.15 or later, or most modern Linux distributions.
• Processor: 1 GHz or faster processor.
• Memory: Minimum 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended).

2. Choose the Latest Release

   Find the most recent version. Look for a file that matches your computer:

   • For Windows: a file ending in .exe or .zip.
   • For macOS: a .dmg or .zip file.
   • For Linux: usually a .tar.gz or .AppImage file.

3. Download the File

   Click the file name to download it to your computer. It usually appears in your “Downloads” folder.

4. Open the Downloaded File

   • On Windows, double-click the .exe file or extract the .zip and run the executable.
   • On macOS, open the .dmg or unzip the file and drag the application to your Applications folder.
   • On Linux, make the file executable and run it.

5. Run the Application

   Once installed, open the program by double-clicking its icon. The main window will appear with simulation controls.

⬇️ Download & Install

Visit the release page to download and install the software:

Download Dynamic-Systems-Analysis

Follow these tips:

• Save the downloaded file to a place you will remember.
• If it is a compressed file (like .zip), use your computer's built-in tool to unzip it.
• To start, double-click the program file inside the folder.
• If your computer warns you about software from an unknown publisher, you can safely ignore this for this trusted open-source project.

🎛 How to Use the App

After opening the program, you will see a simple interface with clear labels. Here is how to begin your first simulation:

1. Select or enter parameters such as the suspension type or vehicle mass.
2. Press the 'Run Simulation' button.
3. Watch the graphs show how the suspension reacts over time.
4. Use available controls to zoom in or pause the simulation.
5. If you want, save the results to a file for later study.

All steps are designed to be straightforward. No need to write any code or handle complicated menus.
