Wolfram Research is now shipping Mathmodelica System Designer Professional, a powerful new platform for multi-engineering simulation and model-based design in Mathematica.
Built on the high-level Modelica standard, Mathmodelica System Designer Professional provides an innovative graphical environment for developing and maintaining sophisticated models with custom-built and ready-made components from different engineering domains.
Dynamic frameworks exist for a variety of domains, including electrical, mechanical, thermodynamic, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and control systems.
Each model component within a system can be used in different roles, depending on how it connects to the surrounding environment. This greatly decreases the need for variants of the same model, thereby affording easier maintenance and providing a true component-based plug-and-play architecture that is closer to real-world systems than the more rigid block-based approach typically used now.
Mathematica adds a rich computational environment and brings a means of organising the modelling, analysis, and design process. The live Mathmodelica System Designer Professional models link seamlessly to Mathematica, with all simulation variables and model parameters available. Users can then control their simulation and model parameters to do further analysis, including visualising, optimising, performing system identification, and using measurement data to test and validate their models.
Key features of Mathmodelica System Designer Professional include: easy drag-and-drop modelling with ready-made and user-defined components; a hierarchical design structure for managing complex models; an ability to handle models from multiple engineering domains, including hybrid and discrete event systems; a built-in Simulation Centre for interactive parameter variation and visualisation of simulation results; and full Mathematica integration to extend, document, and automate many modelling tasks.
Mathmodelica System Designer Professional is available for Windows and requires Mathematica 4.2 or higher. The suggested retail price is EUR2990 (US$3800), but a 20 per cent discount is available until 11 December 2006.
Mathmodelica System Designer Professional is developed and supported by Mathcore Engineering of Sweden.
