OpenSource Software in Mac OS X V. Zhhuta UK2 LImIted t/a VPS.NET, [email protected] Max OS X stem from Unix: bSD. It contains a lot of things that are common for Unix systems. Kernel, filesystem and base unix utilities as well as it's own package managers. It's not a secret that Mac OS X has a bSD kernel Darwin. The raw Mac OS X won't provide you with all power of Unix but this could be easily fixed: install package manager. There are 3 package manager: MacPorts, Fink and Homebrew. To dive in OpenSource world of mac os x we would try to install lates version of bash, bash-completion and few other utilities. Where we should start? First of all you need to install on you system dev-tools: Xcode – native development tools that contain GCC and libraries. Next step: bring a GIU – X11 into your system. Starting from Mac OS 10.8 X11 is not included in base-installation and it's need to install Xquartz(http://xquartz.macosforge.org). Now it's time to look closely to package managers MacPorts Site: www.macports.org Latest MacPorts release: 2.1.3 Number of ports: 16740 MacPorts born inside Apple in 2002.

  • Early Insights on FMI-Based Co-Simulation of Aircraft Vehicle Systems
    The 15th Scandinavian International Conference on Fluid Power, SICFP’17, June 7-9, 2017, Linköping, Sweden Early Insights on FMI-based Co-Simulation of Aircraft Vehicle Systems Robert Hallqvist*, Robert Braun**, and Petter Krus** E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] *Systems Simulation and Concept Design, Saab Aeronautics, Linköping, Sweden **Department of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden Abstract Modelling and Simulation is extensively used for aircraft vehicle system development at Saab Aeronautics in Linköping, Sweden. There is an increased desire to simulate interacting sub-systems together in order to reveal, and get an understanding of, the present cross-coupling effects early on in the development cycle of aircraft vehicle systems. The co-simulation methods implemented at Saab require a significant amount of manual effort, resulting in scarcely updated simulation models, and challenges associated with simulation model scalability, etc. The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard is identified as a possible enabler for efficient and standardized export and co-simulation of simulation models developed in a wide variety of tools. However, the ability to export industrially relevant models in a standardized way is merely the first step in simulating the targeted coupled sub-systems. Selecting a platform for efficient simulation of the system under investigation is the next step. Here, a strategy for adapting coupled Modelica models of aircraft vehicle systems to TLM-based simulation is presented. An industry-grade application example is developed, implementing this strategy, to be used for preliminary investigation and evaluation of a co- simulation framework supporting the Transmission Line element Method (TLM).

Bogodorova, Student Member, IEEE, M. Sabate, G. Leon,´ L. Vanfretti, Member, IEEE, M. Halat, J. B. Heyberger, and P. Panciatici, Member, IEEE Abstract— Power system phasor time-domain simulation is the FMI Toolbox; while for Mathematica, SystemModeler often carried out through domain specific tools such as Eurostag, links Modelica models directly with the computation kernel. PSS/E, and others. While these tools are efficient, their individual The aims of this article is to demonstrate the value of sub-component models and solvers cannot be accessed by the users for modification. One of the main goals of the FP7 iTesla Modelica as a convenient language for modeling of complex project [1] is to perform model validation, for which, a modelling physical systems containing electric power subcomponents, and simulation environment that provides model transparency to show results of software-to-software validations in order and extensibility is necessary. 1 To this end, a power system to demonstrate the capability of Modelica for supporting library has been built using the Modelica language. This article phasor time-domain power system models, and to illustrate describes the Power Systems library, and the software-to-software validation carried out for the implemented component as well as how power system Modelica models can be shared across the validation of small-scale power system models constructed different simulation platforms. In addition, several aspects of using different library components.

  • 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.
