Greetings,

currently im working on a project in which i basically have to calcuate and plot a little solar system, using newton mechanic. The work is done, but as it appears, the solution simply cannot be true. In the given example you can see that the planets move in more or less straight lines. I presume that the error is somewhere in the solution of the system of differential equations, but i can't see where it is.

I am grateful for every advice.

Greetings,

i have a problem working with a list of equations. The background for the whole thing is simulating the movement of 4 astronomical bodies with Newtons equation. Currently i have a list which looks like this (read x(1,1) as x-coordinate body 1 time =1):

[ x(1,1)=1,12312,y(1,1)=2,3123,z(1,1)=4,141,...,x(1,n)=5,0102,y(1,n)=0,912,z(1,n)=8,1232,...,x(4,n)=5,92y(4,n)=1,656,z(4,n)=3,141]

so i basically have all the information about where the bodies are.

I want to use this information to create a 3D-pointplot. I know that the point plot requires a special input form ( {[x(1,1),y(1,1),z(1,1],[x(1,2),y(1,2),z(1,2)].....} ), but i alread have managed to convert my original list accordingly. However, i cannot use this new list for pointplot because it contains equations and not simple values.

So how do i get from a list as shown above to a list which contains merely the numeric values?
