The Architecture of the Smile/M Simulation Environment

Abstract

Smile is an object-oriented, equation-based, hybrid modeling and simulation environment. The focus of this paper is the extension (Smile/M) of the Smile system to Modelica, a new modeling language currently being defined in an international collaboration effort. An overview of this language, which may well become a quasi-standard in the simulation community, is given. Interfacing Smile to Modelica will enhance the interoperability of the system and allow the reuse of models developed in other environments.
