The editor allows the design of flow charts representing a dynamic system made of blocks defined in palettes.

Key Features:

  • Copy/paste of blocks
  • Undo/Redo management
  • Multiple schemas management
  • Users can customize standard blocks and define new ones

Compiler / Simulator

Xcos environment enables, from the built model, the simulation of complex systems - discrete, continuous, defined by symbolic equations (Modelica), etc.. and hybrid systems combining the capabilities above.
The data resulting of the simulation can then be graphically viewed in real time, used in Scilab for post processing...
