ASCEND is an interactive environment for modeling, debugging, and solving large systems of nonlinear algebraic or differential equations. Oriented towards chemical engineering applications, it includes a large Open Source thermodynamic properties database. The interactive design allows users to inspect and solve very difficult nonlinear systems. It includes plotting abilities and is scriptable using both Python and Tcl/Tk.
