Abstract
Modelica is being used more and more in industrial applications, but Modelica is still not used as much in biomedical applications. For a long time we have mostly been using Matlab/Simulink models, made by Mathworks, for the development of models of physiological systems.
Recently, we have been using a simulation environment based on the Modelica language. In this language, we implemented a large scale model of interconnected physiological subsystems containing thousands of variables.
Model is a richly hierarchically structured, easily modifiable, and “self-documenting”. Modelica allows a much clearer than other simulation environments, to express the physiological nature of the modeled reality.
