Description
Course Description
Welcome to Advanced OpenModelica: Modular System Modeling, a hands-on course designed to enhance your system modeling skills for energy and power applications. Learn structured, modular, and scalable workflows in OMEdit to build multi-cell and multi-stack models, run simulations, and analyze results.
This course builds on foundational OpenModelica knowledge, teaching you to design clean, professional models, manage parameters systematically, implement parameterized blocks, and create icons and interfaces for modular systems—skills directly applicable in engineering, research, and industrial projects.
What You Will Learn
Design modular, scalable system models
Extend component models to multi-component
Define and manage parameters efficiently
Use arrays, extensions, and blocks to streamline modeling
Build and organize visual and textual models in OMEdit
Create icons and interfaces for modular model instantiation
Run simulations and analyze system behavior, including shunt currents
Export results as CSV for further analysis
Apply best practices for maintainable, extensible models
Who This Course Is For
Engineers, researchers, and students in energy, power, or multi-domain systems
Anyone with basic OpenModelica knowledge seeking advanced skills
Learners interested in structured, modular system modeling for practical applications
Course Highlights
Project-driven, hands-on approach with real-world energy and power systems
Step-by-step guidance for advanced OMEdit workflows
Modular system design and structured project organization
Multi-cell and multi-stack modeling exercises

Why This Course Exists
This course fills the gap in structured, practical training for complex system modeling. Most advanced resources are either too theoretical or lack professional workflows. This course provides hands-on, project-focused learning to develop scalable, analyzable models.
What Comes Next
In the next course, I will extend this work to the hydraulic side, covering flow battery dynamics, fluid libraries, and controller design, and demonstrate integration of electrical and hydraulic systems to explore optimal operation for combined systems.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to confidently build and organize system models in OpenModelica using OMEdit.
- Learners looking to move beyond the basics and apply practical, project-driven modeling techniques.
- Those who want to translate real-world systems into modular, reusable models.
- Anyone interested in simulating, visualizing, and analyzing results efficiently.
