language. It provides an interactive graphical modeling and simulation environment and a customizable set of component libraries.
Interface
Wolfram System Modeler's primary interface, Model Center, is an interactive graphical environment including a customizable set of component libraries. Models developed in Model Center can be simulated in the Simulation Center. The software also provides a tight integration with the
Mathematica environment. Users can develop, simulate, document, and analyze their Wolfram System Modeler models within Mathematica notebooks. The software is used in the engineering field as well as in the life sciences.
