Welcome to the AMUSE project

AMUSE is the Astrophysical Multipurpose Software Environment.

Our aim is to provide a software framework astrophysical simulations, in which existing codes from different domains, such as stellar dynamics, stellar evolution, hydrodynamics and radiative transfer can be easily coupled.

AMUSE uses  Python to interface with existing numerical codes. The AMUSE interface handles unit conversions, provides consistent object oriented interfaces, manages the state of the underlying simulation codes and provides transparent distributed computing. On the simple examples page you can get a quick feel of how this works. AMUSE is free to download, use, and distribute and it comes with a wide selection of astrophysical simulation codes included.

To help build the community, please join us. You can find us on google groups,  http://groups.google.com/group/amusecode or on IRC at the  #amuse channel on irc.freenode.net.
