- Statistical Physics consists of four file:
-
- README this file
- STATPHYS.EXE the program
- STATPHYS.HLP the help file
- INSTALL.BAT the installation batch file
-
- Any questions, suggestions and error reports should
- be send to

-
- To install the software:
-
- Put the disk into drive A
- change to drive A by typing A:
- type INSTALL C: to install on drive C
- type INSTALL D: to install on drive D
- The software is ready to run
- Just type STATPHYS to run it
-

-
- The following command line options are supported:
-
- -lcd to set the palette for a lcd display
- -bw to set the palette for a monochrome display
- -notitle to bypass the title screen
-
- any invalid command line option will print a help
- message.
-
- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
- The program shows an title screen. Just press any key
- to continue! An experienced user can preselect a menu
- by pressing the appropriate key while the title screen
- is visible. Pressing ESC at this point immediately
- leaves the program.
-
- The mainmenu-bar shows five entries: Cauto, Growth,
- Chaos, Ising, and Options. The menues can be selected
- by pressing the highlighted letter. The arrow keys can
- be used to navigate the highlighted bar. Pressing the
- ENTER key executes the chosen menu.
-
- Pressing ESC leaves any menu level. Pressing ESC, when
- only the mainmenu-bar is visible, exits the program.

-
- You are in the menu to simulate Cellular Automata.
- There are 5 selections available in this menu.
-
- Cellular Automata 2: a simulation of a one-dimensional
- Cellular Automata with two inputs
-
- Damage 2: a simulation of damage spreading in
- Cellular Automata with 2 inputs
-
- Cellular Automata 3: a simulation of one-dimensional
- Cellular Automata with three inputs
-
- Damage 3: a simulation of damage spreading in
- Cellular Automata with three inputs
-
- Demo: to run a few selected rules
-
- Parameter: to set the starting concentration, the
- boundary type, the damage type and, if the
- damage type is set to random, the initial
- damage size.

-
- This menu allows the simulation of different growth
- processes.
-
- random walk: a simulation of a two-dimensional random
- walk
-
- Eden Model: a simulation of the Eden growth model
-
- DLA: a simulation of the Witten-Sanders model
- also called Diffusion limited aggregation
-
- Ballistic Growth: This menu point has a further submenu
- to select Ballistic Growth on a Surface or
- on a Seed.

- This menu allows a first contact with a simple chaotic
- system. The logistic equation is simulated and the
- onset of chaos can be observed.

-
- This menu allows the simulation of the two-dimensional
- Ising system with six different algorithms. One can
- select single spin-flip algorithms, which are
-
- the Metropolis algorithm,
- the Heatbath algorithm.
-
- The Creutz algorithm and
- the Q2R algorithm
-
- are microcanonical algorithms and the last two
- algorithms,
-
- the Swendsen-Wang algorithm and
- the Wolff algorithm
-
- are cluster flip algorithms.
-
- Under the menu point Parameter same variables can be
- changed.
