rFactor Pro supports Dymola for driver-in-the-loop simulation

Motor racing is one of the world’s most fast-moving businesses – and its engineers have to be equally dynamic. Race car designers often change vehicle details minute by minute, so how do engineers keep up? The answer is state-of-the-art simulation.
rFactor Pro is a high fidelity vehicle simulator with game-quality graphics and sound engines for human […]

Dymola, MathWorks and the Simulink opportunity

If you’re attending the MathWorks event in Daventry, you’ve probably heard people talking about how Dymola adds to the functionality of Simulink. We’ve put together a short FAQ. For more in-depth information about Dymola, go to www.claytex.com
Why is Dymola at MathWorks?
Many Simulink users also use Dymola. The two technologies complement one another very well, so […]

Getting more from simulation - Part 4: Reusing models for different types of analysis

To download a pdf of this article follow the link Reusing models for different types of analysis
In this 4th article in the series “Getting more from simulation” we will explore how component orientated physical modelling supports the extensive reuse of models to perform different analyses.
In earlier articles in this series we discussed how traditional modelling […]

Getting more from simulation - Part 1

Read this article as a pdf Getting more from simulation - Part 1
By Mike Dempsey
It’s time simulation engineers started using the right tool for the job.  One of the problems of using traditional simulation tools has been knowing how to interpret what happens in reality and translate that into the abstract representations needed for […]

Modelica 3.2 is released

Modelica 3.2, a new version of the Modelica modelling language was released on 24 March 2010. It comes with some interesting developments including homotopy, functions as formal inputs, improved operator overloading, Unicode support, access to protect intellectual property, improved support of object libraries plus a few other improvements. The Modelica 3.2 release is backward compatible […]
