Dear OpenModelica interested,
The OpenModelica 1.9.3 release becomes available later today, September 7, 2015. www.openmodelica.org<http://www.openmodelica.org> Please try it and give feedback! Also, further below, Call for Presentations for OpenModelica and MODPROD workshops 2016. OpenModelica Release 1.9.3, September 7, 2015 The most important enhancements in the OpenModelica 1.9.3 release: · Enhanced collaborative development and testing of OpenModelica by moving to the GIT-hub framework for versioning and parallel development. · More accessible and up-to-date automatically generated documentation provided in both html https://www.openmodelica.org/doc/OpenModelicaUsersGuide/latest/ and .pdf https://openmodelica.org/doc/OpenModelicaUsersGuide/OpenModelicaUsersGuide-latest.pdf · Further improved simulation speed and coverage of several libraries. · OMEdit graphic connection editor improvements. · OMNotebook improvements. OpenModelica Compiler (OMC) This release mainly includes improvements of the OpenModelica Compiler (OMC), including, but not restricted to the following: · Further improved simulation speed and coverage for several libraries. · Faster generated code for functions involving arrays, factor 2 speedup for many power generation models. · Better initialization. · An implicit inline Euler solver available. · Code generation to enable vectorization of for-loops. · Improved non-linear, linear and mixed system solving. · Cross-compilation for the ARMhf architecture. · A prototype state machine implementation. · Improved performance and stability of the C++ runtime option. · More accessible and up-to-date automatically generated documentation provided in both html and .pdf. OpenModelica Notebook (OMNotebook) Several improvements: · Support for moving cells from one place to another in a notebook. · A button for evaluation of whole notebooks. · A new cell type called Latex cells, supporting Latex formatted input that provides mathematical typesetting of formulae when evaluated. OpenModelica Shell (OMShell) No changes. OpenModelica Eclipse Plug-in (MDT) No changes apart from bug fixing. OpenModelica Development Environment (OMDev) A big change: version handling and parallel development has been improved by moving from SVN to GIThub. This makes it easier for each developer to test his/her fixes and enhancements before committing the code. Automatic mirroring of all code is still performed to the OpenModelica SVN site. Graphic Editor OMEdit There are several improvements to the OpenModelica graphic connection editor OMEdit: · Support for uses annotations. · Support for declaring components as vectors. · Faster messages browser with clickable error messages. · Support for managing the stacking order of graphical shapes. · Several improvements to the plot tool and text editor in OMEdit. Optimization Several improvements of the Dynamic Optimization module with collocation, using Ipopt: · Better performance due to smart treatment of algebraic loops for optimization. · Improved formulation of optimization problems with an annotation approach which also allows graphical problem formulation. · It is now possible to formulate final constraints, e.g., minimizing the end time of a process. FMI Support Further improved FMI 2.0 co-simulation support. Call for Presentations OpenModelica/MODPROD Workshops Feb. 2016 Location: Linköping University, Sweden · 10th MODPROD Workshop on Model-Based Product Development, Feb 2-3, 2016 · 8th OpenModelica Annual Workshop, Feb 1, 2016 Theme for this year: Open Source and Open Source Business Models Half-day tutorials are given on several topics, e.g. including: Introduction to Modelica and OpenModelica, FMI and co-simulation, Dynamic optimization, etc. The workshops are concerned with, but not limited to, the following themes: MODPROD workshop Cyber-physical system modeling. Integrated hardware-software modeling. Hardware modeling. Software modeling. Co-modeling, Co-simulation, FMI Multi-body systems. Multi-domain/Multi-physics, e.g. electrical-hydraulic. Modelica-UML-SysML. Modeling and simulation tools. CAD modeling. Design optimization and analysis. Hardware in the loop simulation. Real-time and embedded system modeling. Electrical/hydraulics modeling. OpenModelica Annual Workshop Applications of OpenModelica. Modelica Libraries with OpenModelica. Industrial Use Cases. OpenModelica in Teaching. FMI and interoperability. OpenModelica tool developments. Solver issues in OpenModelica. Meta modeling and hardware/software modeling. Code generation in Openmodelica. Parallel compilation and execution. Model-based optimization. Submission Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit draft presentations, small or large abstracts, or full paper drafts for consideration by the organizing committee. Publication at this event does not prevent future publication at scientific conferences. The submission can be new or recently published work. The submission should be a .pdf file to be uploaded via Easychair (www.easychair.org<http://www.easychair.org/>) to OpenModelica 2016 or MODPROD 2016. Important Dates Submission deadline: November 15, 2014 Acceptance notification: November 20, 2014 For more information, soon to be available, see www.openmodelica.org<http://www.openmodelica.org/> and www.modprod.liu.se<http://www.modprod.liu.se/>. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to all who are contributing to the OpenModelica work!
