*Workshop Information*

There will be 3 workshops in total:

*Workshop 1: Introduction to Modeling with Modelica*
This workshop will give an introduction to Modelica. We will be presenting
the principles of modeling with Modelica and efficient use of model
libraries using various multi-domain examples selected to make the workshop
attractive for engineers from all branches of engineering.

*Workshop 2: Thermo-fluid Modeling with Applications from the Buildings
Library*
 This workshop will give an introduction into modeling of thermo-fluid
systems and their control, using Modelon's latest graphical editor. We will
be using applications from the Buildings library, but the course will be
structured to also appeal to modelers from other application domains that
are concerned with thermo-fluid systems.

*Workshop 3: Introduction to Physiological Modeling with Modelica*
The development of models of human physiology was facilitated by a new
generation of simulation environments using Modelica language. Fundamental
innovation of the Modelica language is the possibility to describe
individual parts of the model as a system of equations directly describing
the behavior of that part and not the algorithm of solving of these
equations (see http://physiome.cz/modelica.pdf).

This tutorial gives an introduction to the Modelica language, the
OpenModelica environment, and an overview of modeling and simulation in a
number of application areas.
The tutorial will show the acausal approach of modeling physiological
system using Physiolibrary, an open-source library for biomedical modeling,
which allows presenting complex models composed from different domains as
comprehensible and maintainable form. Together with participants, models
will be constructed of the cardiovascular system, chemical reactions, body
thermal transfer, osmotic phenomenon, and integrative approach. Attendees
should bring their own computers to participate in the hands-on sections of
the tutorial.

The first part of the tutorial will introduce the acausal and
object-oriented Modelica language using an open-source tool OpenModelica (
www.openmodelica.org) and a commercial tool Dymola. Attendees can install
the open-source OpenModelica tool in advance before the tutorial.

The second part of the tutorial will consist of hands-on sections that will
demonstrate building selected models of 1) cardiovascular system dynamics –
using the hydraulic domain. 2) common biochemical reactions – using the
chemical domain. 3) body thermal transfers with blood flow using thermal
domain 4) liquid volume of the penetrating solution in intracellular space,
extracellular space, interstitial space, blood plasma or cerebrospinal
fluid using osmotic domain 5) integrative approach which connects these
domains together.

Registration for all workshops is through the conference registration on
Eventbrite
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-american-modelica-conference-2018-tickets-39188362447>.
Note that workshop 1 is already sold out. There is a waiting list for
cancellations, please contact Modelon <hubertus.tummescheit at modelon.com>.

Please note that workshops 1 and 2 are sequential, and workshop 2 expects
users to know Modelica or have done workshop 1, and that workshop 3 is in
parallel, at a different location.

*Modelica Association User Meeting, October 11th, Boston*

On October 11th, the Modelica Association organizes a User Meeting for all
users of Modelica Association Standards. More information on the standards
is available at https://modelica.org/projects.

The purpose of the user meeting is to start a dialogue between the Modelica
Association and its users in North America and collect feedback and
requirements from industrial and academic users. It will be a face-to-face
meeting with the option to connect remotely via Webex which will be
provided to registered participants.

The meeting will take place in the offices of MERL at 201 Broadway,
Cambridge, MA 02139, October 11th, from 9.00 am to latest 16.00. Interested
participants are requested to register via the conference registration site
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-american-modelica-conference-2018-tickets-39188362447>

9.00 – 9.30 get together and coffee, 9.30 start of meeting and web
conference

Many thanks to MERL for all their support for the conference and to also be
so generous to host this meeting! The Modelica Association would be glad to
see many of you in person and hear your feedback and input about our
standards and libraries.

Best regards,

The Conference Chairs and the Modelica Association Board
