This is generally referred to as an acausal modeling environment - you don't need to bring the causality of mathematical relationships, just bring the relationships.

There are several other tools in this space, not the least prevalent of which is Mathworks' Simscape product line [1]. Wolfram has a solution that is also very similar to Modelica [2]. Finally, I believe that you will find ModelingToolkit.jl [3] worth a look (along with Julia in general) if your interest is piqued here by Modelica. I believe MTK is a big slice of the future of acausal modeling tools.

Wolfram SystemModeler is a Modelica implementation.
