Wolfram Announces Systemmodeler—Launching a New Era of Integrated Design Optimization 2012-05-23 20:12 CEST Wolfram Announces SystemModeler—Launching a New Era of Integrated Design Optimization Champaign, Illinois—May 23, 2012—Today the Wolfram Group announced the release of Wolfram SystemModeler—the high-fidelity modeling environment that uses versatile symbolic components and computation to drive design efficiency and innovation. Traditional systems have focused on optimization just within the modeling feedback loop. Instead,SystemModeler integrates with the Wolfram technology platform to enable modeling, analysis (of many types), and reporting, all together achieving the first fully agile design optimization loop. "Agility to iterate between modeling and engineering phases will be a key driver of tomorrow's design optimization," says Roger Germundsson, Director of Research & Development at Wolfram. "The Wolfram solution uniquely puts these together into an integrated design." Many of today's tools are limited in their fidelity by their foundations: using block diagrams that poorly represent key components, and producing models just for simulation and not engineering analysis. Moreover, computation is numerics-only or not integrated at all. It's theSystemModeler approach of versatile symbolic components backed by the ultimate computation environment that enables an all-in-one integrated workflow. "You wouldn't build a skyscraper just with stone blocks, so why model your future innovations just with block diagrams," says Jan Brugård, CEO of Wolfram MathCore andSystemModeler Manager. "Symbolic components provide the full gamut of high-fidelity representation. Be empowered to think the unthinkable—and then test it out." "If you think models are just for modeling, you're missing the future of design optimization," continues Brugård. "Instead, build the high-fidelity model once for modeling, simulation, and analysis. Computation isn't an optional extra, it's central to the infrastructure of modern model optimization." Wolfram computation technology has been renowned for driving automation, unification, and other key principles across apparently disparate workflows, achieving dramatic improvements in innovation. The acquisition of MathCore and this first stage in the integration of SystemModeler into the Wolfram platform extends those principles to systems engineering—driving insight, innovation, and results. "I'm excited to see technologies as diverse as linguistic querying, computable documents, symbolic computations, and the world's most advanced statistical analysis start to combine with SystemModeler into a single, integrated design workflow," says Conrad Wolfram, Director of Strategic & International Development at Wolfram. "We're late to systems engineering but right at the start of the new era of integrated design optimization. We've got an unrivaled technology stack for implementing this change." Wolfram SystemModeler is developed by MathCore Engineering AB - A Wolfram Research company. MathCore consultants bring technical skills, vertical industry prowess, and unmatched expertise in deploying Wolfram SystemModeler to meet customer goals. Wolfram is the company where computation meets knowledge. The organization pursues a long-term vision to develop the science, technology, and tools to make computation an ever-more-potent force in today's and tomorrow's world.

  • Component-Oriented Acausal Modeling of the Dynamical Systems in Python Language on the Example of the Model of the Sucker Rod String
    Component-oriented acausal modeling of the dynamical systems in Python language on the example of the model of the sucker rod string Volodymyr B. Kopei, Oleh R. Onysko and Vitalii G. Panchuk Department of Computerized Mechanical Engineering, Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine ABSTRACT Typically, component-oriented acausal hybrid modeling of complex dynamic systems is implemented by specialized modeling languages. A well-known example is the Modelica language. The specialized nature, complexity of implementation and learning of such languages somewhat limits their development and wide use by developers who know only general-purpose languages. The paper suggests the principle of developing simple to understand and modify Modelica-like system based on the general-purpose programming language Python. The principle consists in: (1) Python classes are used to describe components and their systems, (2) declarative symbolic tools SymPy are used to describe components behavior by difference or differential equations, (3) the solution procedure uses a function initially created using the SymPy lambdify function and computes unknown values in the current step using known values from the previous step, (4) Python imperative constructs are used for simple events handling, (5) external solvers of differential-algebraic equations can optionally be applied via the Assimulo interface, (6) SymPy package allows to arbitrarily manipulate model equations, generate code and solve some equations symbolically. The basic set of mechanical components (1D translational “mass”, “spring-damper” and “force”) is developed. The models of a sucker rods string are developed and simulated using these components. The comparison of results of the sucker rod string simulations with practical dynamometer cards and Submitted 22 March 2019 Accepted 24 September 2019 Modelica results verify the adequacy of the models.

  • Changing Mathematics Education in Estonia: Computer-Based Statistics Project
    Hõim, T., Hommik, C. & Kikas, Ü. (2016) Changing mathematics education in Estonia. Computer-based statistics project. [Working paper submitted for CIDREE-STEM 2016, December 22nd] Changing mathematics education in Estonia: Computer-based statistics project Terje Hõlm; Carita Hommik; Ülle Kikas University of Tartu, Estonia Introduction The accelerating growth of both quantity and availability of information afforded by new digital technologies has created greater expectations to people’s competencies in numerical, statistical and visual literacy, requiring fundamental changes in teaching and learning. Mathematical modeling and processing of large data sets are commonly required skills for jobs in STEM sector, as well as in business and social sectors. According to the OECD Innovation Strategy, data analysis discoveries have become the drivers behind innovation. In the forthcoming years this will call for effective improvement of visual and statistical literacy of a large number of individuals. Currently, only 0.5% of the labor force in OECD countries are specialists working with data, but the request will remarkably increase in coming years (OECD, 2015) In Estonia, the main goal of mathematics education is to teach students to formulate, employ and interpret mathematics in a variety of contexts, especially in different situations in their lives. The state final exams and the research evidences show that we have not yet achieved that goal. Whereas the performance of Estonian students in PISA mathematical tests is good (in PISA 2012, the average scores of Estonian students were ranked 10th to 14th among 65 countries worldwide, and 3rd to 6th in Europe), only 14.6% of students could solve complex mathematical problems that require mathematical modeling and well-developed reasoning skills (OECD, 2014).
