Most N-Body codes which are regularly used rely on fully Newtonian dynamics. Gevolution is the first N-body code to be written in a full GR framework and was written by Julian Adamek. I will be presenting the pros for using Gevolution over other N-Body simulations, and also the work that I am doing in collaboration with Julian Adamek, Ruth Durrer and Martin Kunz. This work involves using Gevolution to calculate past light cones (Full sky with z up to ~2, and pencil beams with z up to ~7). From these we can calculate many observables which can be used to make predictions for upcoming surveys such as SKA2 and LSST.
