The Sims standard library

NOTE: Many of these components are unfinished or broken. These are mainly components that require events and support of discrete systems.

These components are available with Sims.Lib.

Normal usage is:

using Sims
using Sims.Lib

# modeling...

Library components include models for:

Electrical circuits
Heat transfer
Rotational mechanics

Most of the components mimic those in the Modelica Standard Library.

The main types for Unknowns and signals defined in Sims.Lib include:

	Flow/through variable	Node/across variable	Node helper type
Electrical systems	`Current`	`Voltage`	`ElectricalNode`
Heat transfer	`HeatFlow`	`Temperature`	`HeatPort`
Mechanical rotation	`Torque`	`Angle`	`Flange`

ModelingToolkit does not have variable types, so Signal, ElectricalNode, HeatPort, and Flange are all aliases of Any, mainly to help with documentation of models.

Current, Voltage, HeatFlow, Temperature, Torque, and Angle are all helper functions that create variables with gensym.

Signal

Sims.Lib.Signal — Type

Signal is an alias for Any used to indicate a signal value or variable.

source

ElectricalNode

Sims.Lib.ElectricalNode — Type

ElectricalNode is an alias for Any used to indicate a node voltage value or variable.

source

HeatPort

Sims.Lib.HeatPort — Type

HeatPort is an alias for Any used to indicate a value or variable for a temperature port.

source

Flange

Sims.Lib.Flange — Type

Flange is an alias for Any used to indicate a value or variable for a flange port (an angle).

source

Discrete

Sims.Lib.Discrete — Type

Discrete is an alias for Any used to indicate a value or variable that is Discrete.

source

Current

Sims.Lib.Current — Function

Current(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :i.

source

Voltage

Sims.Lib.Voltage — Function

Voltage(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :v.

source

HeatFlow

Sims.Lib.HeatFlow — Function

HeatFlow(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :hf.

source

Temperature

Sims.Lib.Temperature — Function

Temperature(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :T.

source

Torque

Sims.Lib.Torque — Function

Torque(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :torque.

source

Angle

Sims.Lib.Angle — Function

Angle(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :angle.

source

AngularVelocity

Sims.Lib.AngularVelocity — Function

AngularVelocity(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :angvelocity.

source

AngularAcceleration

Sims.Lib.AngularAcceleration — Function

AngularAcceleration(x = 0.0; name = :i) creates an Unknown with a default name of :angacceleration.
