Importing Modelica Libraries

If you used a third-party tool to create model libraries in the Modelica 4.0.0 programming language, you can import the .mo files of those model libraries into MapleSim as a custom library. You can then use the imported components in your MapleSim models.

Your library can be either a structured entity (a library that is split into files and folders inside a folder) or a nonstructured entity (a single .mo file that contains the full library).

The folders and files in your library must adhere to the Modelica specifications. In particular, the following must be true:

When importing a library from a structured entity, any sub-entities contained within the structured entity are considered part of the library and are also loaded. Similarly, if you try to import a sub-entity of the library, the entire library is imported and not just the sub-entity.

When importing a library from a nonstructured entity, the .mo file cannot be stored in either a directory that contains a package.mo file or a subdirectory of a structured entity. In both cases, the .mo file is considered a sub-entity of a larger library and the larger library is loaded along with the .mo file.

To import a Modelica library:

The Creating Library dialog box appears. It displays the progress of the library import.

Under the Library Components tab ( ) you will find a new palette with the same name as the top-level class for your library. The components in the palette can be used in your MapleSim models. The custom palette will automatically appear in future MapleSim sessions.
