The software’s purpose is to create block diagrams to model and simulate the dynamics of hybrid dynamical systems (both continuous and discrete time) and compile these models into executable code.
Scilab includes a toolbox called Xcos which is based on Scicos.
[1] Scicos is developed in and distributed with the scientific software package ScicosLab.
The software is intended to allow users to graphically model and compile dynamical systems.
Blocks can be programmed using C, Fortran or Scilab, however, the output from the Code Generator is C.
