Getting started After installing ETHermodynamics, to get started: Download the tutorial_experiment file in the Downloads section. Open the tutorial_experiment file from the Experiment Builder window (the window that opens when you start ETHermodynamics). To do so, go to the top menu, select File > Open, and select the file. Press Run experiment at the bottom right. …
Quickstart Up to two chambers can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. The second, lower, chamber is only available once gthe first one is placed. There are 3 types of chambers available: a simple chamber, a chamber with a piston, and a one-dimensional chamber. Once a chamber has …
Quickstart By default, one particle type is available, corresponding to Nitrogen gas. More particle types can be added, and modified, in the Particles tab on the right of the experiment builder. Chemical reactions can be defined in the same tab. Properties Interaction rate Units: 1/s In ETHermodynamics, particles can exchange heat with each other. This …
Quickstart A particle emitter can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. Particle emitters add particles to your system at the start of the experiment. Once a particle emitter has been added, its settings can be accessed on the right of the experiment builder. You can define the number …

Quickstart A connector can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. It is only available once two chambers have been added to the system. Without a connector, the two chambers are isolated from each other. A connector allows to lift this isolation. Once a connector has been added, its …
Quickstart Stages can be used to change parameters of your system over time. To add a new stage, press the plus-button on the bottom left of the experiment builder. To navigate between stages, click the timeline at the bottom. Scene and particle settings, as well as particle emitters, do not change over time. All other components …
Quickstart The Scene settings can be accessed on the right of the experiment builder in the Scene tab. The settings available here mostly affect the simulation quality and performance of the system. If your experiments are very unstable or take a long time to compute, you might want to check these settings. Properties Time Simulation …
Quickstart Up to two chambers can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. If a one-dimensional chamber is added to the system, no other components (except particle emitters) can be added. There are 3 types of chambers available: a simple chamber, a chamber with a piston, and a one-dimensional …
Quickstart This article explains the process of simulating an ETHermodynamics experiment. You can check it out if you have questions about the underlying mathematics of ETHermodynamics. The processes described are ordered in chronological order, i.e. in the order they are executed in the simulation. The physics simulation described here is the default one used for …
