Owning Palette: Mathematics VIs

Use the Differential Equations VIs to solve ordinary differential equations.

The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.

Palette Object	Description
ODE Cash Karp 5th Order	Solves ordinary differential equations with initial conditions using the Cash Karp method.
ODE Euler Method	Solves ordinary differential equations with initial conditions using the Euler method.
ODE Linear nth Order Numeric	Solves an nth-order, homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients in numeric form.
ODE Linear nth Order Symbolic	Solves an nth-order, homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients in symbolic form.
ODE Linear System Numeric	Solves an n-dimension, homogeneous linear system of differential equations with constant coefficients, for a given start condition. The solution is based on the determination of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the underlying matrix A. The solution is given in numeric form.
ODE Linear System Symbolic	Solves an n-dimension linear system of differential equations with a given start condition. The solution is based on the determination of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the underlying matrix. The solution is given in symbolic form.
ODE Runge Kutta 4th Order	Solves ordinary differential equations with initial conditions using the Runge Kutta method. The Runge Kutta method works with a fixed step rate but with a higher degree of accuracy than the common Euler method.
ODE Solver	Solves ordinary differential equations with initial conditions of the following form: X'=F(X,t). You must manually select the polymorphic instance to use.
