KEY WORDS
PARTICLE The word particle is used by the simulation program to represent the abstraction of a point mass. An electron, a stone a satellite can be thought as point masses in the right context. Any number of particles can be created edited or deleted, limited only by the computer resources. QUANTITY A quantity in the simulation program is referring to a physical quantity as charge or mass. One or more quantities can be given to a particle. The special quantity mass is given automatic to every particle while it is been created. You can create hypothetical quantities too. You specify a quantity when a particle field or force is defined. FIELD Field in the simulation program is referring to a physical field. The electric field inside a capacitor can be represented as a field by the simulation program. When defining a field you specify its Cartesian force components and the name of a quantity which if a particle has it will react to the field. FORCE Force in the simulation program is referring to a physical force. The gravitational force or any force between physical particles can be represented as a force by the simulation program. When defining a force you specify its Cartesian components and the name of a quantity that is the carrier of the force. For two particles to exert a particular force to each other they must have the carrier quantity the specific force expects them to have.
