Not in the sim right now — it's purely Newtonian (symplectic leapfrog, classical gravity). I show the concept on the last slide ("Einstein: gravity is curved spacetime") — a curve in space wrapping around a star/planet that pulls nearby objects into the well. The quantitative case, Mercury's ~43″/century perihelion precession, I'd add next as a 1PN correction — haven't gotten to it yet. Will try to figure it out how to show this
