Abstract

Today, the trend of achieving networked collaborative innovation and design of complex product based on Modelica is predictable in the industrial field. However, the existing file-based Modelica library organization method designed for single-machine environment does not satisfy the model management requirements for dynamic collaborative modeling and sharing under the network environment. Aiming at this problem, a new organization method of Modelica library based on database is proposed. The main principle of this method is that the organization objects are models rather than files. Through interacting with database storing metadata describing models, it is available to achieve model management based on the granularity of single model. Finally, a network-based multi-domain unified modeling and simulation platform is developed on the basis of the model management architecture.
