Hi Marc, Thanks for your enquiry about ASCEND. I think that in the scenario you describe you would be required to release the code of your controller system as open source, because libascend, the core calculation engine, would then be performing an integral and central role in your controller.
One simulation engine that I know of that is released under the LGPL license is fREEDA. It might be worth a look, possibly. I haven't played with it at all. http://www.freeda.org/ Otherwise pour your eyes over my list of 'other' modelling tools, and feel free to add anything interesting that you find that's not already on the list: http://ascendwiki.cheme.cmu.edu/Other_modelling_tools Cheers JP On 08/02/11 21:06, Marc Bodmer wrote: > Dear List > > We plan to create a control system applying model predictive > control.
