Hi guys
I am trying to do the simulation project but i am dumb in C++, or fortan. Is there anyone who can help me? This is the final semester project I have to do.
The problem is as follows.
We have the NxN square box in the plane and drop the sand on the square box. When the no of sand on the sand exceeds 4 then all the four sand moves in the near by box. This is known as avalanche. I have to calculate how many avalanche occur when the large number of sand is dropped.
If anyone has good hand on programming, this is the good practice. Your help will be highly appreciated. jptsharma@yahoo.com

Any one here?

i dunno if you meant this to be humourous, prolly not, but i seriously didn't understand a thing about sand and ..............what not, explain it better

hi bro
Ok here is the explanation.
Consider the graph paper. The small box in the graph paper can accomade the 3 particles. When the particles number is 4 all the particles move to both x and y boxes so that it is empty.if the large number of sand is dropped on the box what will be distribution of the sand. If you droped the 100 sand (particles) and there are 50 boxes then we have to find out the no of sand particles in every boxes. Remember one box can't contain more than 3 particles.

Thanks

I have done Simulation progamming using SIMSCRIPT though!

Jpt,
If you are naive to programming then I would suggest you to go for MATLAB for this project provided if the requirement allows you to use MATLAB. It is easier to learn MATLAB within a couple of days to do the kind of project that you are mentioning. You can define a simple variable or a matrices of variables and then play around with the computations rather easily in MATLAB. If you don't know a thing about C or C++, then I am afraid the learning curve for getting acquainted with the programming itself can take you weeks.

Good luck!!

P.S. If you have more specific questions about programming in C/C++, MATLAB or simulation, then you can write me emails at enthusiast_np@yahoo.com
