VisSim 7 for Embedded System Design

By DE Editors

Adept Scientific (Letchworth, Hertsfordshire, UK) has launched VisSim 7 from Visual Solutions Inc. (VSI; Westford, MA). Said to deliver unmatched power, flexibility, and extensibility, VisSim 7 is a Windows-based program for the modeling and simulation of complex nonlinear dynamic systems. It combines an intuitive drag and drop block diagram interface with a simulation engine.

With VisSim 7, engineers gain a better physical understanding of model behavior through 3D plots and animations as well as better simulating the noise in real-world systems with new random number routines.

Its matrix functionality offers a high-level language for modelers to manipulate matrices and construct them with a spreadsheet-type table (into which data from Excel and Mathcad can be pasted). Other highlights include the ability to solve systems of linear equations (including over- and under-determined systems), calculate eigenvalues/eigenvectors, and realistically interpolate physical data through polynomial and spline fits.

The VisSim product range from VSI is supplied and supported by Adept Scientific in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia and the Nordic countries.
