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), for instance, 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.

15th July 2010: New introductory book on EcosimPro published by Pearson
Pearson-Prentice Hall has just released a new book on EcosimPro entitled Introduction to Modelling and Simulation with EcosimPro, authored by F. Vázquez, J. Jiménez, J. Garrido and A. Belmonte of the University of Córdoba in Spain. The book contains good introductory material for new users of EcosimPro in the areas of dynamic systems modelling with equations and reuse of existing libraries in the control, mechanical, electrical and thermal libraries. It also provides a good overview of the algorithms used internally to produce robust mathematical models. The final chapter is devoted to using EcosimPro models from other environments such as Excel, Matlab and C++. This new introductory book on EcosimPro has 260 pages and is structured in 6 chapters: EcosimPro and the Object Oriented Languages, First Steps with EcosimPro, Construction of Libraries, Reuse of Existing Libraries, Mathematical Algorithms and Connection with Other Software. There are two editons: one in English and other in Spanish.
7th July 2010: PROOSIS version 2.4.0 released.
July 2010: EcosimPro at the ICES 2010 Conference in Barcelona, Spain
EcosimPro will be presented at the International Conference on Environmental Systems (ICES 2010) to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from 11-15 July. The simulation tool’s new capabilities for building complex multidisciplinary models in the area of environmental control for spacecraft will be featured, including the latest version of the ECLSS Library. This library contains the typical components found inside a spacecraft, such as the cabin, the astronauts and the CO2 removing system. EcosimPro can also model sophisticated experiments and improve the design of new equipment. To demonstrate this, the modelling of Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs) using a new library developed over the last few years will be explained. Engineers from ESA, NASA, Boeing, etc will be present at the conference.
