Importing images into your simulations

Now you can import images from the web into your SimNewton models and attach them to particles or the background. Images make is much easier to understand exactly what phenomenon is being modeled. Here is a simple model of a monkey swinging from a tree branch:

Choosing controls in your published simulations

We just added a Publisher icon to SimNewton which allows users to select which toolbar icons, sliders and checkboxes are presented to the viewer when he or she opens a simulation from the repository. The following video explains how to use this feature:

SimNewton: The perfect way to embed examples in your website.

Attention all physics teachers! Looking for a fun way to spice up classical mechanics? If so, take a look at SimNewton! SimNewton is the easiest way to view simulations YOU make from anywhere! All you need is a Google or Yahoo mail account to start making your own simulations?

Too busy to make your own? Check out our public models at www.siminsights.com and see how our simulations can help you!


You probably won't be convinced from just our voice, though. How about seeing our examples for yourself? We've made models that demonstrate examples from California's high school physics curriculum. Check out for yourself how you can use our simulations to help you teach!

You can even embed our simulations into your own blogs, notes, or wherever else you may need them! Play around with the model of a beam below!
