Flow Designer, Re: Simulink / Octave in Universities

[Muthiah Annamalai]

I think FlowDesigner is a great tool,
 http://freshmeat.net/projects/flowdesigner/
 
 But extending it to use GNU Octave engine, and associated
 functions is non-trivial, but nevertheless doable.
 
 Ofcourse its free [as in freedom] and licensed as Octave itself.
 So unlike the J-sim we dont need to ask anyof the folks for 'permission'.
 
 Also Flow designer is pretty good, from the demos Ive seen, 
 http://robotflow.sourceforge.net/demo.html
 and has some external toolkits like the Robotflow.
 
 Cheers
 Muthu
