New and Improved Built-In Libraries

SystemModeler 4 comes packed with the latest version of the Modelica Standard Library 3.2.1, making it easier to develop models that include digital circuits, complex signals, heat dissipation and more. This  makes SystemModeler‘s already broad collection of built-in libraries even larger.

Digital

For digital electronics following the VHDL multivalued logic

8-bit adder • Flip flop

QuasiStationary

Efficient approximate modeling of large analog circuits with sinusoudial currents and voltages

Asynchronus induction motor with slip-ring rotor • Cooling of a DCPM Motor

FundamentalWave

Magnetic fundamental wave effects in electric machines, for modeling multiphase electrical machines.

Rotational and Translational

Support for thermal ports in the Rotational and Translational mechanics libraries added so that heat losses can be captured.

Drivetrain Heat Loss
