If you would get access to the heart of development at a top Formula 1 team, chances are high that you would find they simulate their vehicle-handling behavior using Modelica models — the same holds true for NASCAR. Dymola and the Vehicle Dynamics Library (VDL) are the de-facto standards for simulating car handling in the premiere motorsports leagues. In this post, I will explain why.

Program Advantages:

– Automates multiple sequential or parallel siting analyses, where each analysis may itself execute multiple steps.

– Provides the flexibility to define the workflow and the set of steps that form the analysis, as well as the dependencies among them.

– Serves as a corporate knowledge base while providing automated reporting & searching of previous analyses.

– Provides the same simplified user experience and global access to the entire wind farm engineering team and the sales organization

Tidal energy is an enormous sustainable resource. The challenge is to harvest this energy. It is offshore, which makes it one of the harshest environments. It needs large investments. It bears significant risks.  The company Minesto from Gothenburg in Sweden has developed a new green technology to exploit this energy in places where conventional techniques fail.

Modelica models are used to explore the design and validate the complete multi-physics system model.

For pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, modeling technology serves as the backbone for product design, testing, and improvement. Streamlining and integrating the modeling process and workflows is essential for maximum efficiency as well as for enabling non-experts practical access to these tools.

Using EASA, Pfizer can create custom GUIs without any programming, for various modeling applications, from simple to complex multi-software workflows, providing:

• Web accessible models running with complete reliability throughout the IT infrastructure, including mobile devices
• GUIs with a consistent look and feel, enhancing ease of use and eliminating the need to be familiar with complex software codes
• Complete security of the intellectual property embedded in software models
• Full version control and automated audit trail of usage
