You will find several web sites and programs for N-body problems, with
some discussion of methods. To simulate a solar system say, however,
unless you are a pedant, you could idealize the planetary orbits (and
merely calculate the orbits for spaceships etc based on the current
planetary positions, masses etc) or use an almanac for our solar
system.
