PyMoskito stands for Python based modular simulation & postprocessing kickass toolbox and is Free software (GPLv3)
PyMoskito is targeted at students and researchers working in control engineering. It takes care of all structure related programming a let's you focus on the important things in life: control design It features a modular control loop structure that already contains most of the needed blocks a control engineer needs. Basically you implement your systems dynamics as well as a fancy control law and you are ready to go. On top PyMoskito also contains a GUI which let's you easily fine-tune the parameters of your simulation.
Go ahead and give it a try!

The main application simulating the Ball and Beam system:
The postprocessing application:
Another example a Double Pendulum:
with custom prostprocessors:
- quick setup due to lightweight dependencies
- modular control loop structure allowing easy configuration
- easy integration of own system models through open interface
- automatic simulation of simulation regimes (i.e. for parameter ranges)
- export of simulation results for dedicated post processing
- VTK based 3D visualization interface
- playback functions for 3D visualization
- ready-to-go graphs for all simulation signals
