The OpenModelica Modeling, Simulation, and Development Environment

Abstract

Modelica is a modern, strongly typed, declarative, and object-oriented language for modeling and simulation of complex systems. This paper gives a quick overview of some aspects of the OpenModelica environment – an open-source environment for modeling, simulation, and development of Modelica applications. An introduction of the objectives of the environment is given, an overview of the architecture is outlined and a number of examples are illustrated.
