pathsim
A Python-native block diagram framework for simulating continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid dynamical systems.
What is pathsim?
PathSim is a Python-native framework for simulating dynamical systems using a block diagram approach. It allows users to model continuous-time, discrete-time, and hybrid systems by connecting components like integrators, amplifiers, and scopes. The framework solves the problem of simulating complex physical or engineered systems with minimal dependencies and robust numerical methods.
Engineers, researchers, and students working in control systems, robotics, physics, or any field requiring dynamical system modeling and simulation. It's ideal for those who prefer a Python-based, block-oriented workflow over traditional simulation tools.
Developers choose PathSim for its intuitive block diagram paradigm, hot-swappable components during simulation, and built-in stiff solvers for challenging systems. Its minimal dependencies and extensible architecture make it a lightweight yet powerful alternative to heavyweight commercial simulation software.
