Simulator for dynamical systems using graphics and equations for modeling

摘要: A prototype simulator for dynamical systems, called Hibliz (hierarchical block diagrams with information zooming), which explores some features of modern computer graphics, is presented. supports hierarchical to describe the model decomposition and interconnection structure. The user can scroll, pan, zoom diagram continuously in real time. Zooming controls amount displayed. a changes it from an annotated box representation showing internal structure increasing detail. Since be hierarchical, possible make description at each level simple clear. also simplifies development by allowing submodels form or ordinary differential algebraic equations rather than assignment statements derivations variables. >
