|
| Q: |
Can I import and develop my own model libraries?
|
| |
Yes, there are several commercial as well as free Modelica
libraries available that can be used together with MathModelica
System Designer Professional. Of course it is also possible to
develop your own libraries for internal as well as external use.
|
| | |
| Q: |
Can I develop models in the Mathematica notebook environment?
|
| |
Yes, you can do all your modeling textually within the
Mathematica notebook environment, or by using the model editor to
compose models and download them to the notebook environment. This
allows you to develop interactive documents, facilitating
communication with other users.
|
| | |
| Q: |
Can I generate C code for my simulations?
|
| |
Yes, C code is always generated when compiling MathModelica System
Designer Professional models.
|
| | |
| Q: |
Can I import C code in my MathModelica System Designer
Professional models?
|
| |
Yes, there is an external function interface in Modelica that can be
used to import C code and even Fortran code. If you would like to
generate C++ or Fortran 90 code in Mathematica, you can do so
with MathCode
C++ and MathCode F90.
|
