Modelica Development Tooling Help

The Modelica Development Tooling (MDT) Plug-In integrates the Open Modelica compiler with Eclipse. MDT, together with the Open Modelica compiler provides an environment for working with Modelica projects.

Features

MDT is still in the early development stages but it does provide a simple environment for a Modelica programmer. The following features are implemented so far:

browsing support for modelica classes
syntax color highlighting
syntax checking
syntax error highlighting
code completion
wizards for creation of projects, packages, and classes
Modelica System Library browsing support

Nonfeatures

Some features are as of now missing from MDT:

simulation of models
loading of classes into correct namespace

Background

MDT is created by PELAB at Linköping University as part of an Open Modelica effort. Open Modelica aims at creating a complete development environment for Modelica development.

Requirements

MDT requires at least the OpenModelica compiler version 1.3 and Eclipse 3.1. Other versions of Open Modelica and Eclipse may work, but have not been tested.

Happy compiling!
