Adept Scientific has launched VisSim 7 from Visual Solutions. VisSim 7 is the latest version of the Windows-based program for the modelling and simulation of complex nonlinear dynamic systems. It combines an intuitive drag-and-drop block diagram interface with a powerful simulation engine, making it the fastest and easiest-to-use simulation and embedded system design software available.
With VisSim 7, engineers can now gain a better physical understanding of model behaviour through 3D plots and animations, as well as better simulating the noise in real-world systems with new random number routines.
The developers have committed to capturing the attention of a wider audience with vastly enhanced matrix functionality. A high-level language enables modellers to manipulate matrices and rapidly 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.
Visual Solutions have also delivered better usability than ever. Engineers can better integrate simulations into printed reports with an optional blue margin to show the printable part of the model and the facility to print only what you see on screen. They will also get working faster with a new option to automatically reload the last saved model.
