The update adds new tools, simulation options and camera types, extends the tutorials, improves the GPU solver, and introduces a brand new type of simulation - stellar evolution. Stellar evolution simulationA basic evolution of stars has been added in the previous update, implemented as a simple parametric relation that changes the stellar radius and surface temperature based on its initial mass and age. This update adds a new detailed solver of stellar evolution. The solver can be enabled by turning on ‘Solve stellar structure’ in the simulation settings. When using this solver, SpaceSim solves the equations of stellar structure and calculates radial profiles of pressure, density, temperature, nuclear fusion rate, etc. The state of the star changes over time, driven by changes in composition - fusion of hydrogen into helium due to the proton-proton and CNO cycles. You can use the detail...
