In this paper; we show that; provided the Modelica language specification is enriched with the notion of external connector; interesting applications follow; where Modelica can be used to describe synchronous event-activated blocks that communicate efficiently with the “outside world”. Such blocks described in Modelica and compiled separately can still be connected together to form new blocks. Scicos (www.scicos.org); a freely available modeling environment; can make efficient use of those blocks; that in addition enable seamlessly integration of Modelica into a causal environment.
