Dymola
In a depature from topics related to Siggraph, I note that Dassault has recently acquired Dynasim AB, a Swedish company developing software tools for solving modeling, simulation and design problems using computer algebra.
CATIA Systems strategy puts embedded systems modeling at the heart of CATIA. DS selected the open standard, Modelica, to be at the core of DS’ open strategy. Hence, the announcement of DS’ acquisition of Dynasim. With the addition of Dynasim, CATIA will be able to feature behavior-driven simulation.
Dymola, the Dynamic Modeling Laboratory, provides an environment for the modeling and simulation of integrated and complex systems and has libraries available for simulating systems in many different engineering fields, based on the object-oriented modeling language Modelica.
One such library is the MultiBody library – this is a free library providing 60 main components such as ready-to-use joint, force, part, body, sensor and visualizer components.
“I am delighted that DS has selected Dynasim as the key component of its V5 embedded system platform,” said Dr Hilding Elmqvist, founder and CEO, Dynasim AB. “Via DS’ integration of CATIA Systems and Modelica based Dymola technologies, DS’ strategy, with its partners, is to help companies switch from a proprietary simulation-centric approach to a full virtual product model.
