rodbar

rodbar is a software library written in Python that provides functionality for working with rod-like structures in computational simulations. It is designed to assist researchers and developers in modeling and analyzing systems where elongated elements play a significant role. The library offers tools for defining the geometry of these rod-like elements, including their length, radius, and orientation. It also includes methods for calculating various physical properties associated with these structures, such as their mass, inertia, and surface area.

Furthermore, rodbar supports the creation of collections of rod objects, allowing for the simulation of complex assemblies. Users can define interactions between these rods, enabling the study of phenomena like self-assembly, mechanical entanglement, or fluid dynamics in the presence of rod-like particles. The library aims to be versatile, catering to applications in fields such as materials science, biophysics, and soft matter physics. Its Python-based implementation makes it accessible for integration into existing scientific workflows and facilitates rapid prototyping of simulation models. The primary goal of rodbar is to simplify the computational representation and manipulation of rod-like objects, thereby accelerating research and development in relevant scientific disciplines.
