1. softening

   In physics and astronomy, an N-body simulation is a simulation of a dynamical system of particles, usually under the influence of physical forces, such as gravity (see n-body problem for other applications). N-body simulations are widely used tools in astrophysics, from investigating the dynamics of few-body systems like the Earth-Moon-Sun system to understanding the evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe. In physical cosmology, N-body simulations are used to study processes of non-linear structure formation such as galaxy filaments and galaxy halos from the influence of dark matter. Direct N-body simulations are used to study the dynamical evolution of star clusters.

1. Softening

   Softening is a numerical trick used in N-body techniques to prevent numerical divergences when a particle comes too close to another. This is obtained by modifying the gravitational potential of each particle as where is the softening parameter. The value of the softening parameter should be set small enough to keep simulations realistic.
