2. Introduction to Modelica

Before digging head first into programming with Modelica, let’s take a short tour around this modeling language: design goals, history, tools, and comparison with other modeling tools.

2.1. Activity

The activity is based on a short paper-based quizz: Modelica Introduction.pdf.

2.2. Ressources

The main document needed to complete this activity is the first chapter of Michael M. Tiller’s book “Introduction to Physical Modeling with Modelica” [Tiller-2001].

Complementary documents are the introductory slides of Martin Otter [Overview] and those of Peter Fritzson and Bernhard Thiele [Tutorial].
