Welcome to the Pynamics documentation

Pynamics is a simple, lightweight Python package to simulate dynamical systems.

It is mainly inteded as a support package for more advanced control design projects, especially projects seeking to implement advanced control systems leveraging the predictive capabilities of machine learning algorithms.

The package provides classes to model a system (linear and nonlinear state-space models) and a simulator class that can be used to run different types of simulations. Limited control capabilities are also provided, namely a controller base class that users can build upon to design their own controllers.

Please note that this package is NOT appropriate for extensive, extremely precise simulations.

Main features

• Simulations: simulate dynamical systems in Python using our simulator class. Only fixed-step solvers are supported at the moment.

• Plot results: plot the simulation results automatically.

• State-space models: model your system using our generic linear and nonlinear state-space models.
