Hello Phil, Yes I have considered Octave. In fact I'm already using Matlab and decided to 'reject' it for Python + Numeric/numarray + SciPy because I think you could do more in Python and in more simple ways.
Problem is that neither Octave, Matlab and Python offer today a framework to build continuous system simulator (in fact Matlab with Simulink and SimMechanics, do propose, but I was not convinced at all).
