Description
It is a tool that allows to perform simulations and modeling in an accessible way for non-expert users in programming. It provides a graphical model building interface. Advanced features such as model scripting and an optimization tool are also described.
Application in education
As a technology designed for non-expert users in programming, it allows students in their first semesters to experiment and start learning about simulation and modeling tools. It is used in several learning areas such as engineering, science, economics, among others. Since it is web-based, students have the possibility to use it inside and outside the classroom.
