This manuscript presents a technique that allows Equationbased Object-Oriented Modelling Tools (EOOMT) to exploit Dynamic Decoupling (DD) for partitioning a complex model into “weakly coupled” submodels. This enhances simulation efficiency; and is naturally keen to parallel integration or co-simulation. After giving an overview of the problem and of related work; we propose a method to automate DD by means of a novel structural analysis of the system – called “cycle analysis” – and of a mixed-mode integration method. Also; some considerations are exposed on how the presented technique can be integrated in EOOMT; considering as representative example a Modelica translator. Simulation tests demonstrate the technique; and the realised implementation is released as free software.
