Abstract
A system is described that can be used to simulate dynamic systems described by differential equations. The results are displayed, using graphs, on the computer screen. The user can halt the simulation at any time in order to change parameters. It is also possible to change parameters during the simulation and to observe immediately the impact of the changes on the simulated system. The system operates on a standard personal computer. The concept of the simulation system is described. In addition the specification and implementation of the simulation system are discussed. Examples of the performance of the system are provided
