But it also provides access to additional resources, such as free online training courses, other SystemModeler users in the Wolfram Community, technical support, and technical consulting. The Documentation Center makes it easy to browse and search all product and library documentation, which includes video and text tutorials as well as the more-structured library pages. But how do you find out what is in one of these libraries? And how do you learn to use the software? How do you learn to model in the first place? With SystemModeler 4 we have created a new Documentation Center (online and in-product) as the hub from which questions like these can be answered. So, with more built-in libraries and a dedicated Library Store, you have a more powerful modeling tool. There really is no limit to the areas that can be made accessible with well-designed model libraries. With the SystemModeler Library Store, there is an actual marketplace where such knowledge-if made into a library-can readily be made available. Interestingly, we’ve interacted with many R&D groups that have in-depth knowledge of different areas-from tire modeling for off-road machinery, to chemical reactors, to classes of disease pathways, etc.-for which libraries don’t yet exist. And with the Library Store we expect to expand on the available libraries continuously. The world of modeling libraries and areas covered by SystemModeler just got bigger. So what sorts of modeling libraries can you already find in the Library Store? Well, they cover a variety of areas-for example, Hydraulic, for hydraulic actuators and circuits as in an excavator arm or flight controls BioChem, for biochemical systems as in compartmental or pathway models SmartCooling, for cooling circuits such as battery stacks or combustion engines SystemDynamics, for sociotechnical models such as energy markets, disease propagation, and logistics and PlanarMechanics for constrained 2D mechanical systems such as revolute joints in robots. All the libraries in the store are verified to work with SystemModeler 4, and we are working with developers to bring you new and updated libraries on an ongoing basis. With the Library Store you get easy download and automatic installation, and we are even working with the Modelica Association to get a new standard accepted for such library bundles to enable this simple workflow more generally. So we decided to create a marketplace for both free and paid libraries, the SystemModeler Library Store. There are also many improvements to existing libraries, such as support for thermal ports in the Rotational and Translational mechanics libraries so that heat losses can be captured.īut we also wanted to make it easy to access all the other great existing and future model libraries. For instance, we’ve added Digital, for digital electronics following the VHDL multivalued logic standard QuasiStationary, for efficient approximate modeling of large analog circuits and FundamentalWave, for modeling multiphase electrical machines. So we’ve made SystemModeler‘s already broad collection of built-in libraries even larger. Reusing components and interfaces from already tested and documented libraries not only speeds up development and learning, but also improves quality. And you may very well have to refactor the library more than once before you’re done. There are many aspects to think of: the best structure for easy modeling, the right level of detail, the interfaces to other components, which components to include, documentation, etc. Many of those have been well supported by built-in libraries, but many are totally new domains where models typically need to be built from scratch.įor most applications, using existing model libraries gives a real boost to productivity, but developing a good library takes a lot of effort. People have been using SystemModeler in an astonishing variety of areas. We’ve also improved workflows for everything from learning the software to developing models to analyzing and deploying them. Today we are proud to announce the release of Wolfram SystemModeler 4.įor SystemModeler 4, we have expanded the supported model libraries to cover many new areas.
