Interface
Wolfram System Modeler'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 System Modeler 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 System Modeler uses the free object-oriented modeling language Modelica, a language designed for the modeling of physical systems and designed to support library development and model exchange. It is a modern language built on acausal modeling with mathematical equations and object-oriented constructs to facilitate reuse of modeling knowledge.[8] Since Version 11.3, the Wolfram Language supports direct access to Modelica libraries for system simulation and analysis from a notebook interface.
