In this poster the
Modelica Systems Physics library is presented. The Systems Physics library is a free open-source library with models for different areas of physics. The primary use of the library is for educational purpose in Physics courses at medium level.
The library contains models from five different domains (hydraulics; translational and rotational mechanics; electrodynamics and thermodynamics). In the future; we plan to add chemistry as a sixth domain. Each domain contains connectors containing a substance-like quantity and the corresponding potential; basic models (capacitance and resistance); sensors and actuators as well as some domain specific elements; such as nonlinear accumulator; nonlinear resistors; valves; springs or inductances. In addition to the constitutive equations each model also comprises the energy balance. For example; dissipative elements calculate the loss energy and even the entropy production with the help of an additional thermodynamic connector.
