Deployable structures are an enabling technology for many space- and ground-based structures and vehicles. Analysis of deployment mechanisms and structural dynamic responses in early design phases is key to ensuring deployment reliability and overall structural integrity. In this paper, a Modelica library is presented that provides a number of building blocks to enable and ease the development of models of deployable structures. Several examples using the library are presented that would be difficult or impossible to model using other technologies.
