LMS (Leuven, Belgium) announced that its newly released LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim Rev 8A supports the open-source Modelica programming language standard.
Modelica is an object-oriented, multi-domain modeling language for component-oriented modeling of complex systems, e.g., systems containing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, thermal, control, or electric power subcomponents.
LMS has incrementally incorporated Modelica support LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim, a complete 1D simulation suite to model and analyze multi-domain, intelligent systems and predict their performance. The components of the model are described by mathematical equations representing the system behavior. To create a system simulation model in LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim, users can take advantage of packaged solutions including specific tools and application libraries of pre-defined components for different physical domains; and the capability to import, edit, and compile Modelica-based models in LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim.
Rev 8A confirms LMS’ commitment to the Modelica standard.
The Modelica open-source programming community is growing as is multi-domain system simulation, which the company says is a highly strategic process for developing competitive product designs. With LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim Rev 8A, LMS customers will be able to take advantage of tools and application libraries from both AMESim software developers and the Modelica community.
