Thanks again Bob,

It looks a promising approach as it works and has the differential equation
outside the Manipulate and Plot blocks.
The only problem that I find now is that this solution is incredibly slow
as soon as you include it in a list of Plots.
I'll give a simple example, of the model I'm building of some objects
moving in the sea waves.

First a simple user interface taking advantage of the great options we have
in Manipulate and Plot:

ClearAll["Global`*"];

Manipulate[
 Plot[
  {n0*Sin[coef*x + time], -H2, H1,
   n0*Sin[coef*x + time] + c /. c -> Range[-5, -1]},
  {x, -XMax, XMax}, AxesLabel -> {"X", "Y"},
  Filling -> {1 -> {{2}, LightBlue}}, PlotRange -> {-H2, H1},
  AspectRatio -> Automatic,
  PlotLabel -> "Floating object in Sea Wave Model"],
 {{time, 0, "Time"}, 0, 5*2*Pi,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{coef , 1, "Wave Frequency"}, 0.1, 5,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{n0, 0.5, "Wave Amplitude"}, 0.1, 5,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{H1, 3, "Air Height"}, 1, 10,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{H2, 10, "Water Depth"}, 1, 50,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{XMax, 10}, 1, 50,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, ControlPlacement -> Right]

If you move the sliders of Manipulate it works fast and is responsive.

Then we add a simple differential equation with the proposed solution:

func[coef_?NumericQ, c_?NumericQ,
  xLim_?NumericQ] := (y[t] /.
   NDSolve[{y'[t] == Cos[coef*t], y[0] == c}, y, {t, -xLim, xLim}][[
    1]])

Manipulate[
 Plot[Evaluate[
   Table[func[coef, c, 10] /. t -> x, {c, -5, -1}]], {x, -10, 10},
  PlotRange -> {-10, 5}], {{coef, 1}, 0.1, 5, 0.01,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}]

It continues to work fast. So far so good.

Now we try to integrate both things in a Manipulate block (or a Plot, I
don't think the problem is with manipulate):

Manipulate[
 Plot[
  {n0*Sin[coef*x + time], -H2, H1,
   Evaluate[Table[func[coef, c, XMax] /. t -> x, {c, -5, -1}]]},
  {x, -XMax, XMax}, AxesLabel -> {"X", "Y"},
  Filling -> {1 -> {{2}, LightBlue}}, PlotRange -> {-H2, H1},
  AspectRatio -> Automatic,
  PlotLabel -> "Floating object in Sea Wave Model"],
 {{time, 0, "Time"}, 0, 5*2*Pi,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{coef , 1, "Wave Frequency"}, 0.1, 5,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{n0, 1, "Wave Amplitude"}, 0.1, 5,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{H1, 3, "Air Height"}, 1, 10,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{H2, 10, "Water Depth"}, 1, 50,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, {{XMax, 10}, 1, 50,
  Appearance -> "Labeled"}, ControlPlacement -> Right]

And at least in my system, the interface becomes incredibly slow... WHY
???? Any workaround? Is it necessary to use a Table?

Thanks once more and best regards,

Juan
