Multi-Engineering Modeling and Simulation
The multi-engineering capability of Dymola offers new and revolutionary solutions for modeling and simulation. It is now possible to simulate the dynamic behaviour and complex interactions between control software and the physical systems that they manage. The physical models can contain components from many engineering fields, such as mechanical, electrical, thermodynamic, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal and control systems. This means that users can build integrated models of the complete system and have simulation results that better mirror real-time and real-life performance.
Flexible and open environment
The Dymola environment uses the Modelica modelling language which means that users are free to create their own model libraries or modify one of a series of pre-built model libraries to speed and accelerate development times and reduce project costs.
Key advantages
- Open and intuitive modelling environment
- Multi-domain modelling and simulation tool with comprehensive range of library solutions
- A powerful component orientated modelling methodology
- Modelica based
- Acausal, equation-oriented models allow a component to be used and re-used in different contexts and a model to be used for different studies
- Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS). Real-time simulation on dSPACE and xPC.
- Import Simulink models using FM
- Export Dymola models for use in Simulink
- Integrate with driver-in-the-loop simulators
Library Solutions
Dymola provides a comprehensive range of libraries for multi domain modelling. The component orientated modelling methodology enables engineers to use simulation to evaluate new concepts. The libraries available include Mechanics (1D and MultiBody), Fluids (1D thermofluid networks), Control, Thermal and Electrical domains along with application specific libraries for Automotive Powertrains, Vehicle Dynamics and Air-Conditioning systems. The Modelica modelling language allows users to easily extend these libraries to meet new and unique requirements.
