Flint is a simulator for biological and physiological models written in
CellML, PHML, and/or SBML.
Originally developed as part of an in silico platform of
Physiome, now it aims to provide an
open, language-agnostic resource for reproducible simulation studies.
While existing simulation tools, e.g. COPASI and
OpenCOR, are great for simulation for models in a
specific language, you may find Flint useful if searching a unified solution.

Flint has the following features:

  • It can numerically solve ordinary or stochastic differential equations derived
    from models.
  • It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, etc.
  • It provides fully-featured graphical user interface with simplified
    command-line interface.
  • It is open source under the MIT license.

Download
