Abstract

Modelica is being used more and more in industrial applications; but Modelica is still not used as much in biomedical applications. For a long time we have mostly been using Matlab/Simulink models; made by Mathworks; for the development of models of physiological systems. Recently; we have been using a simulation environment based on the Modelica language. In this language; we implemented a large scale model of interconnected physiological subsystems containing thousands of variables. Model is a richly hierarchically structured; easily modifiable; and “self-documenting”. Modelica allows a much clearer than other simulation environments; to express the physiological nature of the modeled reality.
