What is Scilab ?

Scilab is a free, open-source and cross-platform numerical computation software. It includes a high-level, numerically oriented programming language, an efficient computation engine, an integrated development environment, as well as 2D and 3D visualization capabilities.

Scilab can be used for signal processing, statistical analysis, numerical optimization, and modeling, simulation of explicit and implicit dynamical systems. Scilab capabilities can be extended using a toolbox mechanism such as image processing, data analysis dynamic, fluid simulation.

Numerical Computation

Scilab provides about 1,700 mathematical functions for engineering and science applications. It includes mathematical operations and data analysis such as interpolation and regression, differentiation and integration, linear systems of equations, Fourier analysis, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), matrix computation (determination of eigenvalues and singular values, and many more.

Scilab also includes statistics capabilities such as descriptive statistics, probability distributions, linear and non-linear modeling, machine learning, and classification.

Scilab for Optimization

Scilab provides various functions for optimization and can solve many kinds of optimization problems, without or with constraints, needing derivatives or not. Capabilities include simulated annealing, cenetic algorithms, Neldermead, non-linear least squares, simplex, semi definite programming, linear quadratic programming.

If you want to know more about optimization in Scilab, please visit tutorials. Optimization capabilities can be enriched using ATOMS toolboxes.

ATOMS

Automatic Toolbox Management for Scilab (ATOMS) is a Client/Server tool enabling Scilab users to enrich its capabilities. It supports public and private toolboxes and dependencies management. 

Private ATOMS servers can be deployed on your network, for instance to do image processing, optimization, machine learning, data analysis, and management of Xcos library.

3DEXPERIENCE Connector

Data generated by simulations can be pulled from 3DEXPERIENCE platform within Scilab. Thanks to Scilab capabilities, users can now post-process those data:

  • Statistics analysis can be performed using standard mathematical functions
  • Data fitting based on linear and non-linear regression algorithms
  • Classification and Optimization

The data set can be returned to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

OSLC Tutorial: Business Use Case flow with DNG

Hi,I am using CSM 2022x Refresh 2 with Teamwork Cloud and Collaborator plugins.I am trying the OSLC integration capability with DNG by following one of your available tutorial https://docs.nomagic.com/CDH/latest/business-use-case-flow-with-dng-304012914.html but somehow, I am not ending with a similar result.By the end of the flow, I should be able to view the CSM element (which I published as an

Where is AI really creating value? Join us for the CATIA R2027x Live Keynote

According to PwC’s 29th Global CEO Survey, only 1 in 8 CEOs say AI delivers both higher revenues and lower costs. Billions invested. Countless pilots. So where is AI creating value?It starts with a real business challenge, and virtual twins give industrial AI the context to solve it.On Thursday, November 19, 2026, join us for the CATIA R2027x Live Keynote, in person in Vélizy-Villacoublay or onlin

CATIA Magic (Cameo) plugin for live RTI Connext DDS: publish and subscribe from a SysML simulation

A SysML model can describe a DDS interface. This plugin for CATIA Magic lets it take part in one: a simulation can publish and subscribe to real RTI Connext DDS traffic, so a service that exists only as a model can exchange data with services that already exist as code.The video (linked below) shows the setup and a live demo.What it's forChecking interfaces before implementation. A supplier's code

UAF 2 EEP

Hi everyone,I have been asked about the UAF 2 EEP program and noted that an early implementation was planned for 2026xR1. Is this still the case? If so, how do we (and our customer) join. If not, I presume its planned for Refresh 2? ThanksSam MancarellaMEMKO Systems Pty Ltd.
