Are you thinking of something like matlab's Simulink? I know some people love that, but I have never seen it used in a way that impressed me - that's mostly because I have only used matlab a handful of times. On a web discussion on Sage recently I saw some posts from people who would have no interest in Sage until we have something like Simulink (from the engineering community).
