ECOSIMPRO CODE GENERATION FROM THE PHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF OBJECT-ORIENTED MODELS

To cope with the growing demands for simulation models of ever increasing complex industrial systems, the research community effort has been mainly focused in creating different software tools which simplify the modeling process. This work describes how the Object-Oriented Modeling language PML automates the modeling process by using physical knowledge in order to set the mathematical model of the system. The modeling language introduces a new modularization of the physical knowledge required to model a system, making a clear separation between the physical behavior representation (declarative knowledge) and the computational aspects of model simulation (procedural knowledge).The mathematical model can be formulated by means of an equation based language like EL or Modelica
