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 2012/7/31 Bob Hanlon <hanlonr357 at gmail.com> > Not sure what happened.
