Wrapping Multi-bond Graphs: A Structured Approach to Modeling Complex Multi-body Dynamics

Keywords

Abstract

Bond graphs have established themselves as a reliable tool for modeling physical systems. Yet, they are highly abstract due to their domain independence. Wrapping techniques allow the modeler to preserve the better of two worlds: the flexibility and reliability of bond graphs on the one hand, and the intuitive appeal and familiarity offered by a domain-specific modeling methodology on the other. The talk introduces a new multi-bond graph library for Dymola that includes a partial re-implementation of Dymola’s standard multi-body systems library using wrapped multi-bond graphs.
