Samples
This software comes with the folder Samples containing numerous ready to use samples of Initial Value Problems (IVPs) in files of two kinds:
a) Files with particular ODEs (their extension is .ode). You should go to File/Open in order to load them. They are either ready to be compiled (representing a conventional mono-valued IVP); or they represent a multi-valued IVPs, which means that first you should go to Create an array of IVPs in order to unfold this shortened form into a large aggregate IVP which then may be compiled. After compilation, you will need to specify which curves to plot, and to integrate the IVP the desired number of steps.
b) Script files (their extension is .scr). You should go to File/Open script in order to load them. Script files automate the entire sequence of actions explained in (a) from compilation to plotting the solution curves (earlier integrated along a particular segment). Therefore, after completion of a script, you immediately see the plotted curves in the Graph window. Then you may wish to Play them in a real time clicking the Play button.
Certain scripts can be loaded directly from Demo by choosing the desired sample via a hierarchical menu – this is the recommended way for first exploration of the software.
The selection of the samples covers various branches of applied mathematics: from purely parametric curves (where the ODE section contains merely a trivial ODE t'=1) to many samples in celestial mechanics, general mechanics (single and double pendulums, rolling disk), examples of special functions such as the Bessel function (which are regular, but their ODEs are singular), and some others examples.
The full description for all of them (called Exploratorium) is in preparation.

These and many other samples may be opened either as the ode or script files from the File menu navigating to the subfolder Samples.
The folder Samples contains numerous samples of the ode and scr files, and subfolders considered separately:
SpecPoints – containing samples of integration beginning with a singular point of ODEs yet having a regular solution, for which the Taylor expansion at the special point was brought from other sources.
Periodic – containing samples of Choreographies and other special periodic cases of the 3 body problem.
LagrangePointsWorkshop – containing the algebraic equations whose solutions are the Lagrange points, and ODEs for the inverse functions whose integration delivers those points.
RigidDisk – containing scripts visualizing rolling of rigid disk under different conditions and different methods such as 10 points at the edge, or a triangle, or the axes, or several special points fixed in it.
Here is the list and minimal explanations for over 70 samples in the folders. For every script file with the extension .scr there always exists the respective file .ode (not listed here if it accompanies the scr file). Go to File menu to…
Actions needed for integrating the samples from the special Lists in the three body problems
1) Go to
Demo/3 bodies/...
and one of the lists.
2) Enter a number of the desired
sample. The
program automatically loads the ODEs for the 3 body problem with the
initial
values corresponding to the selected orbit, compiles, and (blindly)
integrates the problem until reaching the termination point – the period of this simulation entered
from its file. (The period of
the orbit is visible also in the
Front panel in the Constant section as a comment line for
constant
a).
3) When the integration reaches the
termination
point (the period), the program displays the message. As you click OK,
the program opens the Graph window displaying the entire trajectory.
You may wish to Play
it dynamically. Depending on the complexity of the curve, it may be
something like 60-80
seconds. Enjoy the show, and then repeat everything from step 1 for
another
sample.
4) If you like the curves that you have obtained and played, you may
wish to
save this session as the script so that next time they integrate ready
for
playing automatically. In the File menu, Save Script into a location of your
choice (available only
in the licensed version). Next time you will be able to open this
script and
play it.

Holomorphic functions – solutions of singular ODEs
(folder Samples/SpecPoints)
This folder contains a selection of samples all illustrating the case when singular rational ODEs have holomorphic solutions. For some ODEs it was proven that no rational regular ODE at this special point can have those functions as solutions because the point is a special point of violation of elementariness by those functions. For some other ODEs there is no such proof, and it is not known yet whether regular rational ODEs may have these solutions at the special points – see here and here.
