Using OpenMVLShell in Research and Education

OpenMVL Project is considered by author as the starting point of discussion and the first executed step in the direction of the new standard for tools for modeling and simulation of complex dynamical systems (CDS). OpenMVLShell is the open source software for comparison different approaches to the problem of designing modern environments for CDS modeling and simulation first of all. However it may be used in Education too as its analog OpenModelica. OpenMVLShell is based on Object-Oriented Modeling (OOM) approach and uses Model Vision Language (MVL) suggested by MvStudiumGroup. MVL is object-oriented language for modeling and simulation of hierarchical multicomponent systems with event-driven behavior based on differential-algebraic equations (hybrid systems). Possibilities of OpenMVLShell are illustrated by two examples. The first one demonstrates how to use OpenMVLShell for comparison different DAE solves. The second one illustrates using OpenMVLShell in «Modeling and Simulation» course as instrument of active learning.
