Integrated generic 3D visualization of Modelica models

Sammanfattning: OpenModelica is a complete environment for developing and simulatingModelica models based on free software. It is promoted and developed bythe OpenModelica Consortium. This thesis details a method for describingand consequently displaying visualizations of Modelica models in OMNote-book, an application in the OpenModelica suite where models can be writtenand simulated in a document mixed with text, images and plots. Two dif-ferent approaches are discussed; one based on Modelica annotations and onebased on creating a simple object hierarchy which can be connected to exist-ing models. Trial implementations are done which make it possible to discardthe annotation approach, and show that an object based solution is the onebest suited for a complete implementation. It is expanded into a working 3Dvisualization solution, embedded in OMNotebook.
