Introduction to Dymola and Modelica
This course is targeted at people who haven’t used Dymola or Modelica before. The aim is to demonstrate through examples how Dymola can be used to build models graphically and to carry out simulation and analysis of these models. The modelling language Modelica is introduced starting from the basic modelling approach and covering the language structure and syntax. This is a 3 day course:
- Overview of Dymola and Modelica
- Building models in Dymola
- Simulation and Analysis
- Scripting in Dymola
- Modelica Fundamentals
- Object Oriented modelling
- Model development in Modelica
- Basic Modelica Syntax
- Event handling
- Replaceable models and templates
Advanced Modelica
This course is targeted at people who have some experience of modelling in Modelica and want to learn about the most powerful concepts in Modelica. A knowledge of Dymola is required. The aim is to demonstrate through examples how some of the more advanced features of the Modelica language work. The topics covered on this one-day course are:
- Functions and external functions
- Records and data structures
- Class parameters
- Component arrays
- Clocked variables for control systems
- Controlling state selection
- Linearisation of Modelica models
- Annotations
- Best practice model structure
Vehicle Dynamics
This course is targeted at people who have some experience of modelling in Dymola and Modelica and typically they will have completed our Introduction to Dymola and Modelica course. The aim is to demonstrate through examples the work flow and capabilities of the Vehicle Dynamics and VDLMotorsports libraries. The topics covered on this two-day course are:
- Vehicle model architecture
- Defining a suspension system
- Working with setup data
- Tire models
- Running setup experiments to determine the required adjustments
- Running steady state initialisation experiments
- Running full vehicle dynamic tests
Fluid modelling in Modelica
This course is targeted at people who have some experience of modelling in Dymola and Modelica and typically they will have completed our Introduction to Dymola and Modelica course. The aim is to demonstrate through examples how the Modelica Fluid and Media libraries work and how to develop your own component models to be compatible with these libraries. The topics covered on this one-day course are:
- Building models with Modelica Fluids and Media libraries
- Stream connectors
- Creating your own Fluid components
- Regularisation
- Heat transfer models
