Editing Modelica (section)

==Applications==
Modelica is designed to be domain neutral and, as a result, is used in a wide variety of applications, such as fluid systems (for example, steam power generation, hydraulics, etc.), automotive applications (especially powertrain)<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Mahmud|first1=Khizir|last2=Town|first2=Graham E.|date=2016-06-15|title=A review of computer tools for modeling electric vehicle energy requirements and their impact on power distribution networks|journal=Applied Energy|volume=172|pages=337–359|doi=10.1016/j.apenergy.2016.03.100}}</ref> and mechanical systems (for example, multi-body systems, [[mechatronics]], etc.).

In the automotive sector, many of the major automotive OEMs are using Modelica. These include Ford,<ref>Michael Tiller, Paul Bowles, Mike Dempsey [http://www.modelica.org/events/Conference2003/papers/h32_vehicle_Tiller.pdf ''Development of a Vehicle Modeling Architecture in Modelica''], 3rd International Modelica Conference</ref><ref>Erik Surewaard, Eckhard Karden, Michael Tiller [http://www.modelica.org/events/Conference2003/papers/h11_Surewaard.pdf ''Advanced Electric Storage System Modeling in Modelica''], 3rd International Modelica Conference</ref><ref>Charles Newman, John Batteh, Michael Tiller [http://www.modelica.org/Conference2002/papers/p17_Newman.pdf ''Spark-Ignited Engine Cycle Simulation in Modelica''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031002230948/http://www.modelica.org/Conference2002/papers/p17_Newman.pdf |date=2003-10-02 }}, 2nd International Modelica Conference</ref> General Motors,<ref>E.

Modelica is also being increasingly used for the simulation of thermo-fluid and energy systems.<ref>Michael Wetter, Christoph Haugstetter [http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/wetter/download/WetterHaugstetter-2006.pdf ''Modelica versus TRNSYS - A Comparison Between An Equation-Based and a Procedural Modeling Language for Building Energy Simulation''], 2nd SimBuild Conference, Cambridge, MA, USA, August 2006.</ref>

The characteristics of Modelica (acausal, object-oriented, domain neutral) make it well suited to [[system-level simulation]], a domain where Modelica is now well established.<ref>{{Cite book|chapter = Simulation of Large-Scale Models in Modelica: State of the Art and Future Perspectives|chapter-url = http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_article/index.en.aspx?issue=118;article=49|publisher = Linköping University Electronic Press|volume = 118|pages = 459–468|doi = 10.3384/ecp15118459|first = Francesco|last = Casella|quote = Modelica language is well-established for system-level modelling tasks in many domains of engineering, such as automotive, robotics, mechatronics, energy, aerospace, in particular when multi-domain modelling is required.|hdl = 11311/964804|series = Proceedings of the 11th International Modelica Conference, Versailles, France, September 21–23, 2015|year = 2015|isbn = 978-91-7685-955-1}}</ref>
