Maybe it would be possible to extend the ptolemy system for these
purposes. It allows you to build scientific applications out of building
blocks and combine them in a CAD-like editor. It is also possible
to define a model in a tcl script. Building blocks can be implemented
in either C++ or Java. IMO it shouldn't be difficult to add guile as another
implementation or modeling language.
Ptolemy is a very big system and it's very nice.
And it's free software.
