| Purpose | myPhysicsLab provides interactive, real-time animated physics simulations that users can change by dragging objects and adjusting parameters. | SimEvents models message based communication in Simulink and other event driven processes using a discrete event simulation engine and component library. |
| Support | The author identifies himself as Erik Neumann and provides an email address on the home page; no support plan is listed there. | The product page links to documentation, examples, videos, technical articles, functions, requirements, and release notes. |
It suits learners and educators exploring physics concepts, as well as developers who want to customize interactive simulations. Users can also download versions for offline viewing.
It suits engineers and analysts modeling communications, software or hardware architectures, and operational systems. Users need MATLAB and Simulink alongside SimEvents.
