Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

Computer simulation of the gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger.

On September 14, 2015 the LIGO experiment made the first ever direct detection of gravitational waves. The signal it saw - named GW150914 - was from the merger of a pair of black holes, one 29 times the mass of our sun and another 36 times the mass of our sun. The merger lasted less than 1 second, during which time it released gravitational-waves with more energy than the entire visible universe combined.

The video shows a 3D computer simulation of the binary black hole system seen by LIGO. The simulation was run using the open-source Einstein Toolkit framework on the Fionn cluster at the Irish Centre for High-End Computing, and the visualisation was created with the SimulationTools package for Mathematica.

What I have to do if I want make 3-body black hole simulations from this code?
