EcosimPro and PROOSIS simulation tools
EcosimPro and PROOSIS are powerful mathematical tools capable of modelling any kind of dynamic system represented by differential-algebraic equations (DAE) or ordinary-differential equations (ODE) and discrete events. They are integrated visual environments that provide intuitive tools for making simulation easy.
The tools provide an object-oriented non-causal approach for creating reusable component libraries and are based on very powerful symbolic and numerical methods capable of processing complex systems of differential-algebraic equations. With theirs clever wizards, they provide modellers with an easy way to build consistent mathematical models.
EcosimPro and PROOSIS are used by leading companies in the Aerospace and Energy sectors. The European Space Agency (ESA) has chosen EcosimPro as its recommended tool for simulation in several fields, including propulsion, environmental control systems and life support (ECLSS) and power systems. For the last 15 years, ESA has turned to EcosimPro to model complex systems of the International Space Station (ISS), rocket propulsion and biological systems, among others.

11th May 2012: EcosimPro at the 24th International Cryogenic Engineering Conference in Fukuoka (Japan) on 14-18th May
EA is presenting its new EcosimPro professional library for modelling large cryogenic systems at the International Cryogenic Engineering Conference held in Fukuoka (Japan) on 14-18th May. The library, named CRYOLIB, was developed jointly with CERN and aims to be of great use in the design of new cryogenic systems, in off-design simulation to optimize control, virtual commissioning tasks, operator training and more. CERN and EA are giving at the conference a short course on Cryogenic Dynamic Modelling and Simulation and also presenting a paper together. For those interested in cryogenic systems simulation, EA will also provide live demonstrations with the new library at the exhibition on its stand (booth 34).
25th April 2012: ESA workshop about EcosimPro-ESPSS at Propulsion Conference in Bourdeaux (France) on 8th May.
ESA is organising a workshop for European Space Propulsion System Simulation (ESPSS) users at the Space Propulsion 2012 Conference in Bordeaux (France) in May. The workshop is an ESA initiative to give an introduction to ESPSS for the broad propulsion community, followed by a users workshop. A general overview of the ESPSS will be given by ESA and EA Internacional, where the main capabilities of the EcosimPro tool and the ESPSS libraries will be explained, as well as the status of the main developments that are currently ongoing in ESPSS. Some selected applications of actual cases will be then presented by some industrial and researcher institution users, showing how they have handle specific problems and how source access allows addressing their specific problems. The purpose is to highlight potential extensions given by ESPSS users for further upgrades. ESA and EAI will be glad to receive in the subsequent round-table discussion the different suggestions and questions stated by other users and attendants, based on their experience and wishes. The main goal of this meeting is to initiate a constructive feed-back on the simulation tool in which the experience of developers and users are put together to plan future improvements for the EcosimPro/ESPSS tool environment. Users interested in showing their test cases and sharing their experience, are invited to contact us.
11th April 2012: Release of EcosimPro 5.0 and PROOSIS 3.0 Beta versions
The beta versions of EcosimPro version 5.0 and PROOSIS version 3.0 are available for users of these tools. These new versions are an important milestone because they include some profound modifications that users will find enormously helpful. The modifications include a new graphical tool for the construction of simulation schematic diagrams, palettes of symbols by categories, greater ease of use (a single work view instead of three), library encryption, new classes for the direct reading of XML and ASCII files, increased speed in all actions, direct link to Subversion to monitor the library versions, new capabilities for teamwork, solving of more than 300 bugs found by users, new tools for the automatic compilation of libraries and workspaces, new valid Microsoft C++ 2010 compiler, etc.
