IIUC, automatic variables (including `argn`) were removed from Octave. See also 
e.g. here: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?59401

It doesn't look like that package has had any updates recently. But it might 
still be worth reporting this to the author here: 
https://github.com/amromanov/sci_cosim/issues

In the meantime, you could try replacing `argn` by `__varval__ (".argn.")` in 
your local installation of that package like Rik suggested in the above bug 
report.
