Introducing Sol: A General Methodology for Equation-Based Modeling of Variable-Structure Systems
Dirk Zimmer · 2008
This paper presents a derivative language of Modelica that is called Sol. It has been especially designed for the convenient expression and simulation of variable-structure systems within an object-oriented, equation-based model-ing framework. Starting from a formal definition of the grammar and type-system, the paper advances to an ex-planation of Sol’s semantics. Finally the current state of implementation and corresponding processing mecha-nisms are presented. Keywords: language design, vari-able-structure systems, causalization mechanisms. 1
