Dassault Systemes have announced the release of Dymola 2012 FD01. This release includes the following enhancements: Greatly improved plotting capabilities offers easier to use and more flexible analysis of simulation results Improvements in graphical editor to make common operations faster More flexible composition of FMI simulation units with support for co-simulation Enhanced Simulink-interface makes distribution [...]
Interfacing Dymola and Simulink is quite straight forward. In this example I will look at exporting a simple driven pendulum model from Dymola to Simulink as an s-function. First, create a copy of the example model Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Examples.Elementary.Pendulum model and call it DrivenPendulum. To setup the model for use in Simulink we have to define the [...]
Modelica Buildings Library Updated
The Modelica Buildings library is a free open-source library from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for the dynamic simulation of building energy and control systems. The library contains models for air-based HVAC systems, water-based heating systems, controls, heat transfer among rooms and the outside, and multizone airflow, including natural ventilation and contaminant transport. The primary use [...]
