MathModelica, developed by MathCore Engineering AB, is a platform for engineering as well as life science modeling and simulation based on the Modelica language. It provides an interactive graphical modeling and simulation environment and a customizable set of component libraries.

Features

Features of MathModelica include:

• Based on the non-proprietary, object-oriented, equation based, Modelica language.
• Graphical user interface for drag-and-drop modeling
• Textual user interface for equation-based Modelica modeling, simulation, documentation, and analysis
• A-causal (component based) and causal (block based) modeling
• Multidomain modeling, including^[1]:
  • 1D and 3D mechanics
  • Electrics
  • Hydraulics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Controls engineering
  • Systems biology
• Integration with Mathematica for analysis and documentation of models and simulations

Interface

MathModelica's primary interface, the System Designer, is an interactive graphical environment including a customizable set of component libraries. Models developed in the System Designer can be simulated in the Simulation Center. The software also provides a tight integration with the Mathematica environment. This allows users that have both software to develop, simulate, document, and analyze their MathModelica models within Mathematica notebooks. The software is used within the engineering field as well as within life science.

Editions

There are two main editions of the software; MathModelica Professional, targeting users within industry and academia, and MathModelica Student, targeting people working toward a high school, associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctoral, or equivalent degree.

Modeling Language

MathModelica uses the free object-oriented modeling language Modelica. Modelica is a non-proprietary, object-oriented, equation based language to conveniently model complex physical systems containing, e.g., mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, thermal, control, electric power or process-oriented subcomponents.
