FMI Standard: Understand the two types of Functional Mock-up Units – CS v. ME
March 7, 2018
The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard supports two flavors of Functional Mock-up Units (FMU), including: Co-Simulation (CS) and Model Exchange (ME). But, do you know the difference? As an expert in the standard it’s my goal to help users understand the commonalities and differences – getting you to a point in which you’re choosing the […]
Designing and developing advanced aircraft escape systems for fighter pilots
January 16, 2018
Fighter pilots often face critical and life-threatening situations that require a military aircraft manufacturer to design and expertly craft escape systems – ensuring safety opportunities exist in case of emergency evacuation. In a previous project, Modelon worked with a military aircraft manufacturer on escape systems, specifically the pilot ejector seat, that would propel a pilot’s […]
Integrated CO2 Absorption Process in a Coal-Fired Power Plant
January 3, 2018
It’s no secret that global governments are implementing greenhouse gas policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. These policies have a direct impact on the power generation sector as carbon capture and storage technologies are essentially the only option available for fossil-based power generation to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions. So, how will they do it? […]
Extracting Library Statistics using OPTIMICA Compiler Toolkit API
December 12, 2017
Have you ever wondered how many components, functions and models are in your library? Modelon’s OPTIMICA Compiler Toolkit has the capability to enable users to retrieve any essential information using the compiler API. This blog introduces the OPTIMICA API – along with its purpose, functionality, and highlights how it can be used to compute library […]
Meet FMI’s New Companion Standard, SSP
November 21, 2017
This blog post is relevant for those who are familiar with the Functional Mock-up Interface and are interested in learning about the emerging companion standard, System Structure Parameterization (SSP). The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) has been a game-changer in simulation technology. In less than ten years it has gone from idea, to research project topic, […]
Integrating Thermal Management Systems for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
November 8, 2017
Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are intensively being developed by the automotive industry to replace conventional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. These vehicles specifically require a tighter integration of the thermal management system with the cabin air conditioning. Why are expectations on the cooling system so high for electric vehicles? The Li-ion batteries […]
Lightning McQueen and Disney Pixar Cars Expose My Day Job
October 17, 2017
Explaining the ins and outs of working at Modelon is never as transparent as it should seem. After watching Cars 3 with my son I found an easier way to explain the challenges customers have and the benefit of model based engineering. Read on…. What do you do for a living? An intrusive question but, […]
