Introduction
- Events in Modelica:
- rich set of event related features
- additional synchronous elements
- event semantics quite involved, sometimes
counterintuitive
- "Modelica [...] provides only very
limited means for the description of such [i.e. structurally
changing] models" [Zimmer 2007]
- Using components and graphical tools:
- large library (MSL) mostly for physical modelling
- contains some event-related blocks
- build new components with explicit Modelica code
- Modelica implementations:
- contain different subsets of the MSL
- differ subtly in event behaviour
- used here: Dymola and MapleSim
