Wolfram SystemModeler, developed by Wolfram MathCore, is a platform for engineering as well as life-science modeling and simulation based on the Modelica language. It provides an interactive graphical modeling and simulation environment and a customizable set of component libraries.

Features

The features of Wolfram SystemModeler include:^[1]

• Graphical user interface for drag-and-drop modeling
• Textual user interface for equation-based Modelica modeling, simulation, documentation, and analysis
• A-causal (component-based) and causal (block-based) modeling
• Multidomain modeling, including:
  • 1D and 3D mechanics
  • Electrics
  • Hydraulics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Control engineering
  • Systems biology
• Integration with Mathematica for analysis and documentation of models and simulations
• Importing and exporting via the Functional_Mock-up_Interface.

Interface

Wolfram SystemModeler's primary interface, Model Center, is an interactive graphical environment including a customizable set of component libraries. Models developed in Model Center can be simulated in the Simulation Center. The software also provides a tight integration with the Mathematica environment. Users can develop, simulate, document, and analyze their Wolfram SystemModeler models within Mathematica notebooks. The software is used in the engineering field as well as in the life sciences.

Editions

Originally developed by MathCore Engineering as MathModelica, it was acquired by Wolfram Research on March 30, 2011.^[2] It was then re-released as Wolfram SystemModeler on May 23, 2012,^{[3][4][5][6][7]} with improved integration with Wolfram Mathematica.

Modeling Language

Wolfram SystemModeler uses the free object-oriented modeling language Modelica. Modelica is a non-proprietary, object-oriented, equation equation-based to conveniently model complex physical systems containing, e.g., mechanical, electrical, electronic, hydraulic, thermal, control, electric power or process-oriented subcomponents.
