Hi Johan, Thank you for you brief overview.

I actually emailed Christian Andersson asking for "blessing" before I move forward. I also contacted yesterday Joel Andersson here in Leuven. > I think that both JModelica/Assimulo and CasADi would be valuable > additions to Sage, since they address different problems, even though > there is some overlapping functionality.

I agree, but first I was thinking simpler and aiming at the ODE/DAE solvers only. :) Sage (and SciPy by the way) are in need of a straightforward interface to solvers like SUNDIALS and Radau. I understand that offering the whole pack JModelica/Assimulo/CasADi would imediatelly give rise to a simulator/optimization for a more engineering-like and applied math environment reachable via Sage. This would become attractive also for people doing any sort of Simulink or VHDL-AMS modeling (which I did some time ago). As long as we can smoothly integrate the above environment with the symbolic capabilities of Sage I think it is very good thing to have. My aim is to have the ability to manipulate any sort of equation and hand it down to a solver. Pretty much as you do with other math packages. If now I can lump this equations into a module (say Modelica) connect further other modules and arbitrarily drop them into a system simulator/optimizer, that would be really good. What do you think? That would be equally good for the more math or engineering oriented people out there. I am looking on how to put some of this on Sage, hoping to get further inputs from the experienced people there.
