Abstract

The new operator homotopy(..) was introduced in Modelica 3.2 to improve the solution of difficult ini-tialization problems. The background and motivation for this approach is discussed and it is demonstrated how to apply it for mechanical; electrical and fluid systems. Furthermore; it is shown at hand of several examples how an inappropriate formulation might lead to ill-posed problems.
