2 Abstract 1. Introduction A new language called Modelica for physical modelling is 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-casual modelling with true ordinary differential and algebraic s and the use of object-oriented constructs to facilitate reuse of modelling knowledge. There are already several modelling language based on these ideas available from universities and small companies. There is also significant experience of using them in various applications. The aim of the Modelica effort is to unify the concepts and design a new uniform language for model representation. The paper describes the effort and gives an overview of Modelica. Mathematical modelling and simulation are emerging as key technologies in engineering. Relevant computerised tools, suitable for integration with traditional design methods are essential to meet future needs of efficient engineering. In September 1996 an international effort started to design a new language for physical modelling. The language is called Modelica. The main objective is to make it easy to exchange models and model libraries and to allow users to benefit from the advances in object-oriented modelling methodology. This paper presents the status of the Modelica design as of June State-of-the art There is a large amount of simulation software on the market. Most languages and model representations are proprietary and developed for certain tools. There are general-purpose tools such as ACSL, SIMULINK, System Build, which are based on the same modelling methodology, input output blocks or FORTRAN like statements, as in the previous standardisation effort, CSSL [10]. There are domain oriented packages: electronic circuits (SPICE, Saber); multibody systems (ADAMS, DADS, SIMPACK); chemical processes (ASPEN Plus, SpeedUp) etc. With few exceptions, all simulation packages are only strong in one domain and are not capable of modelling components in other domains reasonably. This is a major disadvantage since technical systems are becoming more and more heterogeneous with components from many engineering domains. Techniques for general-purpose physical systems modelling have been developed during the last decades, but did not receive much attention from the simulation market. The modern approaches build on non-causal modelling with true s and the use of object-oriented constructs to facilitate reuse of modelling knowledge. There are already several modelling languages with such a support available from universities and small companies. Examples of such modelling languages are ASCEND [8], Dymola [3], gproms [1], NMF [9], ObjectMath [12], Omola [7], SIDOPS+ [2], Smile [6], U.L.M. [5] and VHDL-AMS [4]. There is also significant experience of using these languages in various applications. The aim of the Modelica effort is to unify the concepts of these languages in order to introduce a common basic syntax and semantics and to design a new unified modelling language for model representation. 1.2 The Modelica effort The work started in the continuous time domain since there is a common mathematical framework in the form of differential-algebraic (DAE) systems as result of the modelling process, and several modelling languages based on similar ideas exist. There is also significant experience of using these languages in various applications. It was thus appropriate to collect all knowledge and experience in order to design a new unified modelling language or neutral format for model representation. Modelica is a trademark of the Modelica Design Group
3 The short range goal is to design a modelling language for physical systems modelling based on DAE systems with some discrete event features to handle discontinuities and sampled systems. The design should allow an evolution to a multi-formalism, multi-domain, generalpurpose modelling language. The members of the Modelica design group are listed in Table 1, with Hilding Elmqvist as chairman. Information on the Modelica effort is available on The activity started in September 1996 as an effort within the ESPRIT project Simulation in Europe Basic Research Working Group (SiE-WG) [11]. In February 1997, the Modelica design effort became Technical Committee 1 within the Federation of European Simulation Societies, EUROSIM.

An Introduction to Modelica As introduction to Modelica, we will consider modelling of a simple electrical circuit as defined in Figure 1. The system can be broken up into a set of connected electrical standard components: a voltage source, two resistors, an inductor, a capacitor and a ground point. Models of these components are typically available in model libraries. Using a graphical model editor, we can define a model by drawing an object diagram as shown in Figure 1, by positioning icons that represent the models of the components and drawing connections. This composite model specifies the topology of the system to be modelled: components and their connections. The corresponding Modelica model looks like: model circuit Resistor R1 (R=10); VsourceAC AC; Capacitor C (C=0.01); Ground G; Resistor R2 (R=100); Inductor L (L=0.1); connect(ac.n, C.n); connect(g.p, AC.n); connect(r1.n, C.p); connect(ac.p, R1.p); connect(l.p, R2.n); connect(r1.p, R2.p); connect(c.n, L.n); end circuit; The statement Resistor R1 (R=10); declares a component R1 of class Resistor and sets the default value of the resistance R to 10. Connections specify interactions between components. In other modelling languages connectors are referred as cuts, ports or terminals. Defining a set of connector classes is a good start, when developing model libraries for a new application domain. It promotes compatibility of the component models. A connector must contain all quantities needed to describe the interaction. For electrical components we need the quantities voltage and current. Their types are declared as type Voltage = Real(Unit= V ); type Current = Real(Unit= A ); where Real is the name of a predefined class or type. A real variable has in addition to its value, a set of attributes such as unit of measure, initial value, minimum and maximum value. A connector class is defined as connector Pin Voltage v; flow Current i; end Pin; A connection connect(pin1, Pin2), with Pin1 and Pin2 of connector class Pin, connects the two pins such that they form one node. This implies two s, namely Pin1.v = Pin2.v and Pin1.i + Pin2.i = 0. The first indicates that the voltages on both branches connected together are the same, and the second corresponds to Kirchhoff's current law saying that the current sums to zero at a node (assuming positive value while flowing towards the component). The sum to zero s are generated when the prefix flow is used in the connector definition. Similar laws apply to flow rates in a piping network and to forces and torques in a mechanical system. A common property of many electrical components is that they have two pins. It means that it is useful to define a shell'' model class: Figure 1 Electrical Circuit partial model TwoPin "Shell model with two electrical pins" Pin p, n; Voltage v; Current i; v = p.v - n.v; p.i + n.i = 0;
4 i = p.i; end TwoPin; that has two pins, p and n, a quantity, v, that defines the voltage drop across the component and a quantity, i, that defines the current into the pin p, through the component and out from the pin n. The s define common relations between quantities of a simple electrical component. In order to be useful, a constitutive must be added. The keyword partial indicates that this model class is incomplete. After the name of a class, a one line comment can be given serving as documentation. Tools may display this documentation in special ways. To define a model for a resistor we exploit TwoPin and add a definition of parameter for the resistance and Ohm's law to define the behaviour: model Resistor "Ideal resistor" extends TwoPin; parameter Real R(Unit = "Ohm") "Resistance"; R*i = v; end Resistor; The keyword parameter specifies that the quantity is constant during a simulation experiment, but can change values between experiments. Models for electrical capacitors, inductors and other elements are defined in a similar way. We only give the capacitor model for space reasons (der(v) means the time derivative of v): model Capacitor "Ideal capacitor" extends TwoPin; parameter Real C(Unit="F") "Capacitance"; C*der(v) = i; end Capacitor; A model for the voltage source can be defined as: model VsourceAC "Sine-wave voltage source" extends TwoPin; parameter Real VA = 220 "Amplitude [V]"; parameter Real f = 50 "Frequency [Hz]"; private constant Real PI= ; v = VA*sin(2*PI*f*Time); end VsourceAC; Finally, we must not forget the ground point: model Ground "Ground" Pin: p; p.v = 0; end Ground; The purpose of the ground model is twofold. First, it defines a reference value for the voltage levels. Secondly, the connections will generate one Kirchhoff's current law too many. The ground model handles this by introducing an extra current quantity p.i, which implicitly is defined to be zero by the s. 3. More Advanced Modelling Features The Modelica language has been introduced by giving an elementary example. Model classes and their instantiation form the basis for hierarchical modelling. Connectors and connections correspond to physical connections of components. At the lowest level, s are used to describe the relation between the quantities of the model. The expressive modelling power of Modelica is large. The more powerful constructs are summarised below. Modelling of, for example, multi-body systems, control systems and approximations to partial differential s is done conveniently by utilising matrix s. Multi-dimensional matrices and the usual matrix operators and matrix functions are thus supported in Modelica. It is also possible to have arrays of components and to define regular connection patterns. A typical usage is the modelling of a distillation column which consists of a set of trays connected in series. Reuse of model library components is supported by allowing also model classes to be parameterised. An example is a controlled plant where some PID controllers are replaced with auto tuning controllers. It is of course possible to just replace those controllers in a graphical user environment, i.e. to create a new model. The problem with this solution is that two models must be maintained. Modelica has the capability to instead just substitute the model class of certain components using a language construct at the highest hierarchical level, so only one version of the rest of the model is needed. Realistic physical models often contain discontinuities, events or changes of structure. Examples of such phenomena are relays, switches, friction, impact, sampled data systems etc. Modelica supports such models by allowing the use of finite state machines and petri nets in a way that a simulator can introduce efficient handling of such events. Special design emphasis is given to synchronisation and propagation of events and the possibility to find consistent restarting conditions after an event. 4. Non-Causal Modelling Graphical system input tools are an important part of simulationist s toolkit. However, graphical system input on its own is not sufficient to solve all problems. It is important to have an appropriate framework for model representation. Most of the general-purpose simulation software on the market such as ACSL, SIMULINK and SystemBuild assume that a system can be decomposed into block diagram structures with causal interactions. This means that models are expressed as an interconnection of submodels having their inputs and outputs explicitly stated. The connections of outputs to inputs must not lead to algebraic loops. It is rare that a natural decomposition into subsystems lead to such a model. Often a significant effort in terms of analysis and analytical transformations is needed to obtain a problem in this form. It requires a lot of engineering skills and manpower and it is error-prone. To illustrate this, a block diagram description of the system in Figure 1 is shown in Figure 2. The topology of the circuit is not preserved in the block diagram. Furthermore, different types of blocks are needed for the two resistors. The block Res2, which represents the resistor R2 has the current as input and calculates the voltage drop as output, while the block Res1, which
5 Figure 2 Block diagram of the circuit of Figure 1 represents the resistor R1 has reversed computational causality with the voltage drop as input and the current as output. This means that we need to have two different blocks for resistors and it is the user's task to find out which to use. Furthermore, in most cases this is not sufficient, because despite how the blocks are selected there is an inherent algebraic loop. A very simple example is two resistors in series connected to a voltage source. Modelica supports object-oriented modelling, where behaviour on the lowest level may be expressed in terms of ordinary differential s and algebraic s, so called differential-algebraic (DAE) systems, which is the natural mathematical framework for continuous time models. The Modelica language has been carefully designed in such a way that computer algebra can be utilised to achieve as efficient simulation code as if the model would be converted to ODE form manually. 5.
