Hi Tim and All,
Today I went through ptolemy a little bit
It can model hierarchical models also.
Please see
(just some discussion about ptolemy)
Pros :
a) Designed and developed by UCB
b) Supports complex simulations of all kind
c) Extensively used by universities and reseach communities
d) Runs on JAVA, hence portable to all platforms.
e) Future development is almost assured
f) Use XML to represent all models
g) Supports hierarchical models
h) Have many builtin models
Cons:
a) Complex hence takes some time to adapt
This is the only cons I see.
I tried it for a couple for hours. Looks fine.
There is an application in ptolemy called Vergil
This application seem to suit our need
Please see
Personally I recommend ptolemy, as this provides a way for someone
to develop the diagram as a good simulator too.
Ptolemy has an interesting model example which will capture
sound from PC mic and display the time and freq domain
plots in real time. The model is made of hierarchical components!!!
I liked it.
I suggest Tim to have a serious look into ptolemy
-thanks and regards

FlowDesigner 0.9.0 released
Version 0.9.0 of FlowDesigner has been released. "FlowDesigner is a
free (GPL/LGPL) data flow oriented development environment. It can be
used to build complex applications by combining small, reusable
building blocks. In some ways, it is similar to both Simulink and
LabView, but is hardly a clone of either. FlowDesigner features a RAD
GUI with a visual debugger. Although FlowDesigner can be used as a
rapid prototyping tool, it can still be used for building real-time
applications such as audio effects processing. Since FlowDesigner is
not really an interpreted language, it can be quite fast."
