An Overview of the Modeling Language Modelica
Hilding Elmqvist, Sven Erik Mattsson · Lund University Publications (Lund University) · 1998
A new language called Modelica TM for physical modeling has been developed in an international effort. The main objective is to make it easy to exchange models and model libraries. The design approach builds on non-causal modeling with true ordinary differential and algebraic equations and the use of object-oriented constructs to facilitate reuse of modeling knowledge.
