User Interface & Documentation
New Documentation Center
The new Documentation Center makes it easy to browse and search all product and library documentation. Extensive cross-linking makes it easy to go from components to examples and more. Text and video tutorials, including the Modelica by Example book, make it easy to learn, whether you are a beginner or an advanced user. Documentation Center
Improved Model Center
The new presentation mode makes Model Center a stronger showcasing environment with full drill-down and live edit capability. Several improvements to workflows, including incremental search of model classes, tabbed model parametrizations and direct simulation, make modeling more efficient.
Improved Simulation Center
Simulation Center has improved performance and workflows, including faster model compilation and concurrent simulation support. Selecting objects in 3D animations now shows variables and parameters, and you can copy simulation results directly with one click on a Mathematica icon.
Linux Support
SystemModeler is now available for all major platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux.
Japanese Localization
SystemModeler is now available with a fully localized user interface and full translated documentation.
64-Bit
SystemModeler is now available in 64-bit versions for Mac and Linux.
Integration with Mathematica
Programmatically Create Models
Automatically create models from equations or control system models. Create structured models by connecting existing components. Or combine both approaches and create components from equations and interfaces and connect them in hierarchies. Cam Design »
Model Diagrams
SystemModeler objects now use model diagrams as their visual representation. Diagrams either show the structure of connected models or an icon. Diagrams can be used together with other graphics, and they can be animated to show system behavior.
Tank Example »
Streamlined Workflow
Use model diagrams to represent your models throughout Mathematica. Automatically use experiment settings for simulations. Other improvements include automatic plot legends, user assistance integration and more.
Key New Mathematica Features for SystemModeler
