What do you like best about Scilab?

Scilab is best for the one who wants to use open source application for the data analysis and scientific computation. It is much famous for the low level computation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilab?

User interface of the application is not much attractive or say smooth enough for techies. As it is open source application there is no security of your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scilab:

You should go for the scilab if you are the begginer in the world of analysis and scientific computation. It is available to all the platform out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilab solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using scilab for computation and analysis for raw scrap data and other data as output per man, overall efficiency of the machine and other data related to consuption of consumables. Benefit of using scilab is that you have make set up for any analysis only for one time and after that you just haveto put your data to get the desired results like graph, chart or table. It is easy to interpret output results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Scilab?

Its an open source platform. Any one can modify the source codes and give their contribution. It provides a good alternative to conventional software like MATLAB. Scilab has both scripting as well as simulating environment. The installation file size for Scilab hardly exceeds 600MB, unlike Matlab (in GBs), independent of the operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilab?

Scilab simulation platform 'Xcos' library has almost all blocks similar to MATLAB Simulink. However, they are not as ‘polished’ as Simulink palettes when vectorized variables are to be handled. With regard to fixed step numerical integration methods available for carrying out time-domain simulations, Xcos

provides a few options as compared to Simulink. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used Scilab for education and research purpose in my organisation. Load flow programmes are developed using Fast decoupled load flow (FDLF) method in Scilab and are tested with standard IEEE power systems.This software helped me in developing the small signal and transient stability programme for multimachine environment. Also, eigenvalue analysis operations in power system studies are performed and the inferences obtained are verified through time domain simulations in Xcos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scilab?

Most helpful about scilab is Xcos graphical editor in which we can design, save, compile and simulate system models with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilab?

Only, it is a little bit time consuming to compile and simulate complex models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scilab:

Scilab is an open source software and it is used to design, simulate, compile and load dynamic models systems very easily using some knowledge about blocks in Xcos graphical editor and syntaxes required to perform any operation. I will strongly recommend you all to design dynamic model systems using Scilab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilab solving and how is that benefiting you?

Currently, as I am beginner, I am using scilab to solve mathematical operations, to find aerodynamics force using Xcos, to plot all type of graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scilab?

There was an option called "pause", it's used as a break point, it was amazing how easier to debug the code using "pause" option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scilab?

There is nothing that I didn't like in Scilab, most of what you use in Matlab, is found in Scilab Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Scilab:

Very good, free, open source program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scilab solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Scilab to transfer blocks of Modelica into Scicos and simulate them.

later, I used Scilab to build "Bond Graph" models and simulate them in Scicos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
