Tinkering with electron optics simulation this evening, came up with a little test software for boundary element method simulation and particle tracing. So far so good, and I think it has potential as an educational & low-complexity pro design tool. Would you want to use this?
@spirit532 Curious to know what software framework you used to develop this - I often want to make little tools like this, but never found a way to quickly get to a CAD-style tool with 3d view and tons of dialogues to fiddle with.
@q3k Just C++, SDL2, whatever you want for 3D and Omar's ImGUI. I have a little software stack that I've been dragging through maybe 10 bits of software by now. And a bit of shameless sloperation using the plagiarism machine, but only within the confines of what I understand and have written before.
Well, except maybe the math. That's hard.
@spirit532 Ah, okay, that's pretty much what I've been doing for a while too (but with more rewriting from scratch to try to do some things differently every time), I was hoping maybe there's a common framework I've missed. Thanks!
