FrisPy

This repository contains a physical model for a flying disc. Using this code, one can simulate trajectories of discs with varying initial conditions, while also changing the underlying physical modlel. This is useful for analyzing the mechanics of a disc in terms of its design, as well as creating simulated throws for things like disc launchers or other helpful tools.

This is a pure Python rebuild of the old FrisPy code, which included a version of the integrator written in C for speed. To obtain a fast version of the modeling code, either roll back to an old version or check out the Frisbee_Simulator repository.

Installation

From an Anaconda environment

The preferred method of installation is with anaconda You can install all the requirements into a compatible environment called frispy by running the following command:

conda env create -f environment.yml

You can then install the package the usual way

python setup.py install

You can also use pip to install the requirements from the requirements.txt file by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then follow this by using the setup.py file to install.

Testing

Verify your installation by running:
