# N-Body project - Checklist

### Task 1
- [ ] Compute characteristic quantities/scales
- [x] Compare analytical model and particle density distribution
- [ ] Compute forces through nbody simulation
- [x] vary softening length and compare results
- [x] compare with the analytical expectation from Newtons 2nd law
- [ ] compute the relaxation time

### Task 2






### Questions
- Procedure for each time step of a mesh simulation? Potential on mesh -> forces on particles -> update particle positions -> new mesh potential? or skip the creation of particles in each time step?
