Using Modelica Models for Complex Virtual Experimentation with the Tornado Kernel
Filip H. A. Claeys, Peter Fritzson, Peter A. Vanrolleghem · International Modelica Conference · 2006
Tornado is a software kernel for virtual experimentation on the basis of ODE/DAE models. Recently, a model compiler has been developed that converts flat Modelica code to executable models suitable for use with the Tornado kernel. As a result, a subset of Modelica models can now be used for tasks such as parameter estimation, scenario analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, sensitivity analysis and steady-state analysis. The inherent computational complexity of the virtual experiment types implemented by Tornado can be efficiently handled by the kernel’s semi-automated distributed execution capabilities.
