OpenModelica is an open-source Modelica-based cyber-physical mathematical 
modeling, architectural description, simulation and optimization environment 
intended for industrial and academic usage. Its long-term development is 
supported by a non-profit organization – the Open Source Modelica Consortium 
(OSMC). For download and more information about the release, see 
www.openmodelica.org<http://www.openmodelica.org>.

Cyber-Physical Product Development)

The OpenModelica 1.16.0 Final release October 24, 2020, includes more than 300 
improvements and fixes compared to the previous 1.14.0 release. It is available 
here: (Download Linux<https://openmodelica.org/download/download-linux>, 
Mac<https://openmodelica.org/download/download-mac>, 
Windows<https://openmodelica.org/download/download-windows>. Report bugs in 
Trac<https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/newticket>.) . The most recent 
documentation is

This release includes a further improved new OpenModelica Compiler frontend, 
that was first available in the previous 1.14.0 release, with an average factor 
10-20 speed improvement.

OpenModelica 1.16.0 includes basic replaceable class support in the GUI, as 
well as a lot of new functionality and bug fixes. This is a big step forward 
since replaceable GUI has been under part-time development for 3 years and 
required a completely new frontend and many OMEdit enhancements.

The support of replaceable classes in OMEdit is currently limited to the case 
in which a replaceable class is redeclared, without specific parameter 
modifiers. This is enough, e.g., to use Modelica.Fluid and Modelica.Media. 
Please note that this feature is optional in this version of OMEdit, so it must 
be activated with Tools ->Options ->General -> Enable replaceable support. The 
handling of redeclared class parameters is planned to be added in the next 
release, 1.17.0, due end of January 2020

OpenModelica Compiler enhancements: The new compiler frontend has been further 
improved, with enhanced support of records and arrays. The new front-end can 
now handle 100% of the Modelica Standard Library 3.2.3 models.

Improvements to the compiler back-end and run-time: new minimal tearing option 
--minimalTearing to disable tearing except for discrete variables, improved 
symbolic Jacobian evaluation option --simJacConstantSplit reuses constant part 
of the Jacobian, improvements to dynamic state selection and common 
subexpression elimination, new ASCC algorithm replaces and improves 
resolveLoops algorithm, allowing to detect high-index problems with indirect 
structural state constraints, e.g. in three-phase AC circuits, homotopy 
operator now used on first try by default, linearized model export also 
available in Matlab, Python, and Julia with --linearizationDumpLanguage option, 
Better support for models with records, CVODE solver from SUNDIALS added; – 2 
methods available: BDF (stiff) and Adams-Moulton (non-stiff). Also, it is now 
possible to build a version of OMC with parallel Jacobian evaluation using 
OpenMP.

FMI and SSP Support:  Many FMI export bug fixes have been made, and 
improvements to the usability of OMC-generated FMUs. FMI/CoSimulation 2.0 now 
includes CVODE solvers (previously only fixed-step forward Euler) and 
customization via simulation flags. OMSimulator now supports the SSP 1.0 
standard. OMSimulator GUI iimprovements: text editing of SSP models, undo/redo, 
delete components, etc.

Other enhancements: A special version of OMC available to Consortium members 
can now handle encrypted libraries. Enhanced OM Debugger that can trace (and 
plot) which variables and equations influence a variable., A full-fledged 
​Modelica package 
manager<https://openmodelica.org/doc/OpenModelicaUsersGuide/latest/packagemanager.html>
 is also included in OpenModelica 1.16.0, currently only with a command line 
interface; integration in the GUI is planned in future releases. Support for 
single- and multi-parameter sensitivity analysis.

The OpenModelica development work is organized by the Open Source Modelica 
Consortium, currently about 50 organizations.

Thanks to all who contributed and worked hard for the OpenModelica 1.16.0 
release!
