Integrating Multiple Engineering Disciplines

Dymola tools are domain-agnostic, meaning that they process equations in order to generate efficient simulation code. Domain knowledge is packed in Dymola libraries, designed to handle a variety of applications from mechanical, electrical, and thermo-fluid domains.

The libraries can be used with both Dymola and 3DEXPERIENCE Dymola Behavior Modeling, either on their own or with other Dymola libraries, to model and simulate complex systems that can span multiple engineering disciplines.

Transportation & Mobility

Automotive development has never been more complex or more demanding. Dymola’s hierarchically structured Modelica libraries span the full vehicle: engine and drivetrain modeling with VeSyMA, hybrid and electric powertrains with Battery and Electrified Powertrains libraries, detailed suspension and handling dynamics, and comprehensive thermal management from cooling and HVAC to human comfort. Reuse components across vehicle configurations, compress development timelines, and validate system behavior virtually long before the first prototype turns a wheel.

Aerospace and Defense

Modern aircraft demand seamless integration across thermal, mechanical, electrical, and propulsion systems all at once. Dymola’s specialized Modelica libraries empower engineers to tackle this complexity head-on: from flight dynamics and actuation to cabin thermal comfort and full electric power system modeling. Whether you’re designing next-generation hybrid-electric aircraft or optimizing onboard power distribution, Dymola connects every discipline in a single high-fidelity environment, so integration failures are caught in simulation, not on the flight line.

Infrastructure, Energy & Materials

From industrial steam networks and combined cycle power plants to building HVAC systems and decarbonized energy grids, energy engineers face growing pressure to model more physics with greater precision. Dymola brings together purpose-built Modelica libraries — including Industrial Process Simulation, ClaRa Plus, HVAC, and Human Comfort to simulate the full complexity of modern energy infrastructure. Design new plants correctly from the start, tune controllers with confidence, cut commissioning time, and minimize operating costs before a single pipe is laid or a turbine commissioned.

Industrial Equipment

Industrial equipment demands rigorous multi-domain simulation from 3D multi-body mechanical systems and flexible beams to hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical actuators. Dymola’s broad library ecosystem covers it all: Fluid Power and Pneumatic Systems for actuation, Brushless DC Drives and Electrified Powertrains for motion control, and Thermal Systems and Cooling libraries for accurate thermal behavior. Model full production lines in a high-fidelity virtual environment, eliminate design risks before physical deployment, and enter commissioning with confidence.

[Blog Article] Verifying Nuclear Reactor Safety with CATIA Magic and Dymola

How can simulation help verify nuclear reactor safety earlier?For complex systems like advanced nuclear reactors, verification can’t wait until the end of development. It needs to happen throughout the engineering process.In this new blog, Assystem shares how combining CATIA Magic and Dymola on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps connect system architecture, requirements and multi-physics simulation.?

2026x HF2 Unable to Apply ForceDesignation to Operational Performer

mission engineering UAF When I attempt to create a value for the OpposableElement tag I am not able to get a pull-down. Instead I just get a link to the enumeration. The tag definition in the stereotype uses the type DesignationKind for the tag, not ForceDesignation. DesignationKind is the base stereotype for ForceDesignation. This appears to be an issue in the UAF v1.3 profile.

[SAMPLE MODEL] EE&S Artifact Positioning on the Automotive SPICE Grid

What this isA practice model showing where EE&S plugin artifact types naturally land on the ASPICE process grid, using a Collision Avoidance System (ADAS) as the reference system. The point isn't the system — it's demonstrating that the tool's native constructs map directly to ASPICE work products, and that the chain doesn't stop at architecture.ASPICE Process → EE&S Artifact MappingSYS.1 — Requir

FlexNet Plugin Licenses in Batch Mode

My team is trying to run Cameo in “batch mode”, and I have a question regarding the FlexNet license server configuration that is not answered in any of the documentation that I was able to find. In the Cameo documentation, I see Java arguments for specifying a FlexNet server and port (FL_SERVER_ADDRESS / FL_SERVER_PORT), and I also see that I can specify a tool edition (FL_EDITION). However, in th
