Abstract
Simulations applied in the educational context are capable of providing considerable support in the learning process of a given area of knowledge. This work proposes the development of an interactive, free and open source simulation software for educational use in the context of Linear Systems Modeling and Analysis. Within the scope of the discipline, the proposed software allows creating and graphically simulating variations of user-defined scenarios in real time or instantly. Using data from a plant of tanks created and measured in one of the related works, it was possible to validate the software implementation of this work by replicating the same experiment virtually. By obtaining a model response relatively similar to the original study, we concluded the validity and relevance of the simulation system in the target context.
