Proceedings of the 11th International Modelica Conference, Versailles, France, September 21-23, 2015

Welcome The 11th International Modelica Conference, which takes place at Palais des Congrès de Versailles, is the main event for the Modelica community. Users, library developers, tool vendors, and language designers gather to share their knowledge and learn about the latest scientific and industrial progress related to Modelica and FMI (Functional Mockup Interface). The fundamental idea behind Modelica is to allow storing modeling knowhow in a high-level formally defined format, i.e., to collect information which you otherwise would find in engineering books only accessible by humans. By allowing convenient reuse of this knowhow by definition of component model libraries, enormous saving in man-hours for setting up simulation studies is achieved. Furthermore, by proper validation of such model libraries, much more reliable conclusions can be made from simulation studies leading to better products and user experience. These considerations lead to the equation-based object-oriented formalism of Modelica. Since the start of the collaborative design work for Modelica in 1996, Modelica has matured from an idea among a small number of dedicated enthusiasts to a widely accepted standard language for the modeling and simulation of cyber-physical systems. In addition, the standardization of the language by the non-profit organization Modelica Association enables Modelica models to be portable between a growing number of tools. Modelica is now used in many industries including automotive, energy and process, aerospace, and industrial equipment. Modelica is the language of choice for model-based systems engineering. The FMI standard has been added to the project portfolio of the Modelica Association. FMI provides a complementary standard that enables deployment of pre-compiled high quality models originating from different model formats to a larger number of engineers working with system design and verification
