Description
Master modeling and simulation using Modelica, the new powerful,highly versatile object-based modeling language
Modelica, the new object-based software/hardware modelinglanguage that is quickly gaining popularity around the world,offers an almost universal approach to high-level computationalmodeling and simulation. It handles a broad range of applicationdomains, for example mechanics, electrical systems, control, andthermodynamics, and facilitates general notation as well aspowerful abstractions and efficient implementations. Using theversatile Modelica language and its associated technology, thistext presents an object-oriented, component-based approach thatmakes it possible for readers to quickly master the basics ofcomputer-supported equation-based object-oriented (EOO)mathematical modeling and simulation.
Throughout the text, Modelica is used to illustrate the variousaspects of modeling and simulation. At the same time, a number ofkey concepts underlying the Modelica language are explained withthe use of modeling and simulation examples. This book:
* Examines basic concepts such as systems, models, andsimulations
* Guides readers through the Modelica language with the aid ofseveral step-by-step examples
* Introduces the Modelica class concept and its use in graphicaland textual modeling
* Explores modeling methodology for continuous, discrete, andhybrid systems
* Presents an overview of the Modelica Standard Library and keyModelica model libraries
Readers will find plenty of examples of models that simulatedistinct application domains as well as examples that combineseveral domains. All the examples and exercises in the text areavailable via DrModelica. This electronic self-teaching program,freely available on the text's companion website, guides readersfrom simple, introductory examples and exercises to more advancedones.
Written by the Director of the Open Source Modelica Consortium,Introduction to Modeling and Simulation of Technical andPhysical Systems with Modelica is recommended for engineers andstudents interested in computer-aided design, modeling, simulation,and analysis of technical and natural systems. By building on basicconcepts, the text is ideal for students who want to learnmodeling, simulation, and object orientation.
