JARA2i.CaseStudies

Information

Case studies

There are three case studies contained in this package:

• Batch reactor. Contained in the batchReactor package.
  
• Boiler. Contained in the Boiler package.
  
• Double pipe heat-exchanger. Contained in the doublepipeHeatExchanger package.
  
  

• The PhysicalModel package includes the Modelica description of the physical model.
  This model is composed using componentes of the JARA2i library.
  

• The Ejs package includes the Modelica model description that can be used in combination with Ejs and Matlab/Simulink to build the virtual-lab.
  This model inherits from the class describing the physical model included in the PhysicalModel package. The view of the virtual-labs are implemented using Easy Java Simulations (abbreviated: Ejs. http://fem.um.es/Ejs/).
  The communication between the virtual-lab view (programmed using Ejs) and the virtual-lab model (C-code generated by Dymola) is accomplished by using the Ejs-Simulink and the Dymola-Simulink interfaces.
  The C-code generated by Dymola for the Modelica model can be embedded within a Simulink block. On the other hand, Ejs allows the model to be partially or completely developed using Simulink block diagrams. As a consequence, virtual-labs supporting runtime interactivity can be implemented by combining the use of Ejs, Matlab/Simulink and Modelica/Dymola. The Modelica model needs to be adequately formulated in order to be: (1) useful as a Simulink block; (2) able to accept information from the virtual-lab view; and (3) able to return information to the virtual-lab view.
  

• The Sysquake package includes the Modelica model description that can be used in combination with Sysquake to build the virtual-lab.
  A set of Sysquake functions can be used to facilitate data exchange between the view and the model of the virtual-lab. These functions synchronizes the execution of the dymosim.exe file (generated by Dymola) and the Sysquake application.
  

• The VirtualLab package includes the Modelica description of the virtual-lab view and the virtual-lab.
  The virtual-lab view is composed using components of the VirtualLabBuilder library.
  This library contains a set of Modelica models of visual interactive elements (i.e., containers, animated geometric shapes and interactive controls) that allows easy creation of the virtual-lab view (i.e., the model-to-user interface).
