Wolfram System Modeler is a software platform developed by Wolfram MathCore for the modeling and simulation of physical systems, based on the object-oriented modeling language Modelica . Wolfram System Modeler is mainly used in technology and engineering as well as in the life sciences.

Wolfram System Modeler has an interactive graphical modeling and simulation environment and a user-definable collection of built-in component libraries. Mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological and thermodynamic subsystems can be combined with one another. The created static models of the systems can then be tested for their practical suitability by simulation. Integration with the Mathematica computer algebra system enables users who have both software packages to develop, simulate, document and analyze their Wolfram System Modeler models in Mathematica notebooks.

Modeling and functioning

Some of the features of Wolfram System Modeler:

  • Use of the non-proprietary object-oriented, equation-based modeling language Modelica .
  • Graphical user interface for modeling using drag and drop.
  • Text-based interface for modeling, simulation, documentation and analysis with Modelica on the basis of equations.
  • Acausal (component-based) and causal (block-based) modeling
  • Multi-domain modeling in the areas:
  • one-dimensional and three-dimensional mechanics
  • Electrics
  • Hydraulics
  • thermodynamics
  • Control engineering
  • Systems biology
  • Integration with Mathematica for easy analysis and documentation of models and simulations.

Versions

Wolfram System Modeler was originally developed by MathCore Engineering as MathModelica before the company was acquired by Wolfram Research on March 10, 2011. MathModelica was released as Wolfram System Modeler on May 23, 2012 with improved integration with Wolfram's Mathematica software. Wolfram System Modeler was given version number 3 to indicate this historical background. The previous version 1 was not for sale.
