Acumen 10 features improvements to the syntax, semantics, expressivity, and user interface. The picture below is a snapshot using an example illustrating two different models of a bouncing ball.
Here's the code example in plain text:
class BouncingSpringBall1 (x,x',x'')
x'' [=] - 9.8 + (1/x^2)
end
class BouncingSpringBall2 (x,x',x'')
x'' [=] - 9.8;
if (x < 0)
x = -x; x' = -x'
else
end
end
class Main (mode, simulation)
private state = "Init" end
switch state
case "Init"
create BouncingSpringBall1 (2, 0, 0);
create BouncingSpringBall2 (2, 0, 0);
state = "Persist"
case "Persist"
end
end
New features in Acumen 10 include class declarations, dynamic object creation & deletion and an explicit imperative programming language for describing what happens during discrete mode changes.
