Mathcad moves in on simulation

Mathcad worksheets can now be embedded as components in VisSim, the world's leading PC-based simulation and modelling software. Adding VisSim to Mathcad provides an extraordinary system design tool.

VisSim has long been acclaimed for the way in which it combines one of the most powerful system simulation and modelling engines with an easy-to-use graphical interface. It's hard to believe that you can be creating such a powerful system simulation simply by connecting together on screen a number of function blocks representing interacting dynamic system parameters.

Now the capabilities of VisSim can be integrated with Mathcad. The 'function blocks' which represent components of a system and which are at the heart of VisSim calculations, can actually be Mathcad worksheets. So if the function blocks happen to be based on, say, differential equations, modelling quite complex systems becomes a lot easier, as the Mathcad worksheet can handle differential equations with ease. What VisSim offers is its unique block-based approach to system modelling, giving users the best of both worlds. VisSim brings what-if analysis to life for Mathcad users. Change your parameters on the fly, and see the effect instantly, as graphs, animations, or any other type of display. If you're a Mathcad user who may consider full control system simulation to be one step beyond Windows-style ease of use, prepare for a pleasant surprise.

The latest version, VisSim 4, includes a run-time, view-only version of VisSim which enables users to distribute models to colleagues without VisSim who can still run simulations, change block and simulation parameters, optimise gains, and perform interactive 'what if' scenarios. It's a great tool for collaborative development. And the new DLL Wizard enables user-developed C/C++ programs to be incorporated as custom blocks.
