Abstract

ODEs are a useful mathematical tool for modeling dynamic systems in different fields, such as physics, engineering, biology, and economics. They can provide insights into the behavior of complex systems over time. However, creating ODE models can be difficult and requires expertise in the subject matter and mathematical techniques. This paper presents the OdeShell, a command line interface that enables users to build and simulate ODE models while examining their behavior under diverse circumstances. OdeShell is a valuable addition to the ODE modeling domain, with the capability to ease the development of intricate models in various fields. The tool accommodates novice and proficient modelers, giving them a flexible and user-friendly environment to build and test ODE models. We elaborate on the principal features and functionality of OdeShell and demonstrate its utility in developing ODE models through small examples. Additionally, we discuss the ODE language, emphasizing its syntax and meaning.
