About the Conference

The Modelica Conference is the main event for users, library developers, tool vendors and language designers to share their knowledge and learn about the latest scientific and industrial progress related to Modelica and to the Functional Mockup Interface. The program will cover modeling of complex physical and cyber-physical systems, as well as tools, for a wide range of research and industrial applications.

In addition to paper presentations and poster sessions, the conference features several Modelica tutorials for beginners and advanced users, as well as industrial user presentations, vendor sessions, and an exhibition. The previous Modelica conference in 2017 in Prague, Czech Republic, was attended by more than 400 participants from all over the world, and we would like to welcome even more participants to this conference.

More information is contained in the conference flyer (print)/poster (print). The first page is intended to be printed in larger format such as A3 as a poster. Please post at your bulletin board or by the coffee machine to promote and remind about the conference.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Regensburg.

Scope of the Conference

Modelica is a freely available, equation-based, object-oriented language for convenient and efficient modeling of complex, multidomain cyber-physical systems described by ordinary differential, difference and algebraic equations. The Modelica language and the companion Modelica Standard Library have been utilized in demanding industrial applications, including full vehicle dynamics, power systems, robotics, hardware-in-the-loop simulations and embedded control systems. The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is an open standard for the tool-independent exchange of models and for co-simulation. It is supported by many Modelica and non-Modelica tools and is the key to utilizing Modelica models in non-Modelica environments.

Development in the Modelica Association is organized in Modelica Association Projects:

LANG - Modelica Language
LIB - Modelica Libraries
FMI - Functional Mockup Interface
SSP - System Structure and Parameterization of Components for Virtual System Design
DCP - Distributed Co-Simulation Protocol

The projects collaborate to design and maintan a set of coordinated standards for modeling and simulation of complex physical systems.

The Modelica conference will bring together people using Modelica and/or other Modelica Association standards modeling, simulation, and control applications, Modelica language designers, tool vendors and library developers. The Modelica Conference provides Modelica users the opportunity to stay informed about the latest language, library, and tool developments, and to get in touch with people working on similar modeling problems. The conference will cover topics such as the following:

Multi-engineering modeling and simulation with free and commercial Modelica libraries (mechanics, electrical, hydraulics, thermal, fluid, media, chemical, building, automotive, aircraft, …)
Automotive applications
Thermodynamic and energy systems applications
Mechatronics and robotics applications
Medicine and biology applications
Other industrial applications, such as electric drives, power systems, aerospace, etc.
Large-scale system modelling
Real-time and hardware-in-the-loop simulation
Simulation and code generation for embedded control systems
Simulation acceleration by use of many CPU cores or GPU cores
Applications of Modelica for optimization and optimal control
Modelica modeling, simulation and design tools
Symbolic algorithms and numerical methods for model transformation and simulation
Discrete modeling techniques − FEM, CFD, DEM (Discrete Element Method), …
New features of the Modelica language and of FMI
Experimental language designs and implementations related to Modelica
Modelica in other application areas (mathematical programming, databases etc.)
Modelica for teaching and education
FMI in Modelica and non-Modelica applications and tools
