Minsky is described as 'Enables the simulation of models (particularly from economics) defined in terms of coupled ordinary differential equations. The models are defined using a drawing canvas (rather like VisSim), and a double entry bookkeeping system known as a Godley table' and is an app. There are seven alternatives to Minsky for Windows, Linux, Mac and Web-based. The best Minsky alternative is Simulink. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Xcos or Caedium. Other great apps like Minsky are Insight Maker, EMSO simulator, simcision and GAMS.
