Modelica kinematics simulation environment for commercial distribution

Question

I am looking to develop a tool to run a fairly simple multibody kinematics simulation and plot outputs such as forces. The tool is intended for commercial distribution by a third-party company, and would act as a calculator for setting up the machine it simulates.

I am considering basing the tool on Modelica. Are there any simulation platforms available that would allow distribution without royalties? If not, is there a better alternative to Modelica?

Answer 1

Wolfram SystemModeler can create stand alone simulation executables (without any additional add-ons) that you can distribute without royalties.
