HumMod - Large Scale Physiological Models in Modelica
Jiří Kofránek, Marek Matejak, Pavol Privitzer · Linköping electronic conference proceedings · 2011
Modelica is being used more and more in industrial applications, but Modelica is still not used as much in biomedical applications.For a long time we have mostly been using Matlab/Simulink models, made by Mathworks, for the development of models of physiological systems.Recently, we have been using a simulation environment based on the Modelica language.In this language, we implemented a large scale model of interconnected physiological subsystems containing thousands of variables.Model is a richly hierarchically structured, easily modifiable, and "self-documenting".Modelica allows a much clearer than other simulation environments, to express the physiological nature of the modeled reality.
