Creating Models to easily Include / Remove Effects

Modelica supports a concept called conditional components which provides a convenient mechanism to include or remove effects from a model through the change of a single parameter.  This means that the same models can be reused for different types of studies where different effects have to be considered. The ability to tune the model complexity [...]
