Simulation Software

Here we have a list of modeling and simulation tools. It is incomplete, but gives an overview over the range of available products.

Modeling Resources, Languages and Methods

• F.E.Cellier - The Bond Graph Compendium is a well organized and very complete collection of links About Bond Graph Research.
• Mechatronics Modeling at the DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen contains information on object-oriented multi-domain modeling with a focus on mechatronics
• Hybrid Dynamic Systems A well organized source of information on hybrid dynamic systems by the IEEE Working Group on Hybrid Dynamical Systems.
• Simulation Model Network (SIMONE) SIMONE is a web based network of NMF model libraries and developers. Libraries are maintained by individual developers but adhere to a common presentation format.
• Cetus Links: 11,975 Links on Objects and Components / OOAD Methods This is a very large collection of links on Object-Oriented Analysis & Design Methods. It is mainly about general OO-methods, but pointers to object-oriented physical modeling tools are there as well.

Projects aimed at Standards in Modeling and Simulation

• CDIF (Computer Aided Software Engineering - Data Interchange Format) is a group of tool vendors, users, and system integrators sharing the vision that (software) modeling tools, such as CASE tools, should understand each other and interoperate seamlessly.
• CAPE-OPEN is a very promising initiative of the process industry to design open standards for the interaction of different CAPE (Computer Aided Process Engineering) tools. Some more information is available at the sites of Process Systems Enterprise Ltd. and AspenTech
• OpenMath Main Site OpenMath is a standard for communicating mathematical objects between computer programs.
• VHDL-AMS Home page of the IEEE 1076.1 Working Group, with the charter to develop and to maintain analog and mixed-signal extensions to the VHDL language. These extensions enhance VHDL such that it can support the description and simulation of circuits and systems that exhibit continuous behavior over time and over amplitude.

Simulation Organisations
