Abstract

This article provides feedback from using Modelica in the "System Modelling" area, involving modelling (behavioural and dynamic modelling), direct simulations, control and real-time applications.The described work was undertaken within three Europeans projects: Eurosyslib, Modelisar and Open Prod.Our aims are to attest Modelica language in an overall model of a vehicle consisting of vehicle dynamics, combustion engine, transmission, drive line, brakes and control systems.ModEngine is a complete IFPEN 1 library, resulting from our participation in those European projects.It allows the modelling of a complete engine with diesel and gasoline combustion models.It may be interfaced with control algorithms written in Simulink thanks to the new Functional Mock-up Interface specification from Modelisar project.Both versions under commercial software Dymola and free one OpenModelica are available.Feedback will concerns also problems encountered and advantages in use Dymola and OpenModelica platforms.
