Simulink is a framework widely used by the control engineers ... It is not *perfect* but the ODEs piece is probably the best part of the simulator. Why were you not convinced ?
You may also have a look at Scicos and Ptolemy II. These simulators are open-source ... but not based on Python. Cheers, SB Nicolas Pernetty a écrit : > Hello Phil, > > Yes I have considered Octave.
