Lightning strike simulation, wave coded in Python and it's possible to call it in Matlab Simulink:
Code:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Label, Frame
import matplotlib.animation as animation
def simulate_lightning_strike():
# Simulating lightning strike coordinates
x = np.random.uniform(-10, 10)
y = np.random.uniform(-10, 10)
return x, y
def plot_strike(x, y):
# Plotting lightning strike
plt.scatter(x, y, color='red', marker='x')
plt.xlim(-20, 20)
plt.ylim(-20, 20)
plt.xlabel('X')
plt.ylabel('Y')
plt.title('Lightning Strike')
plt.grid(True)
def generate_strike():
x, y = simulate_lightning_strike()
plot_strike(x, y)
# GUI setup
root = Tk()
root.title("Lightning Strike Simulation")
root.geometry("200x100")
frame = Frame(root)
frame.pack()
btn_generate = Button(frame, text="Generate Strike", command=generate_strike)
btn_generate.pack(side="left")
btn_exit = Button(frame, text="Exit", command=root.destroy)
btn_exit.pack(side="left")
# Animation setup
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_xlim(-20, 20)
ax.set_ylim(-20, 20)
ax.set_xlabel('X')
ax.set_ylabel('Y')
ax.set_title('Lightning Strike Animation')
ax.grid(True)
line, = ax.plot([], [], 'ro-', animated=True)
def animate(i):
x, y = simulate_lightning_strike()
line.set_data(x, y)
return line,
ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, animate, frames=100, interval=100, blit=True)
plt.show()
root.mainloop()
