The main ideas behind the new universal, equation-based, and object-oriented modeling language Omola are discussed. Omola is designed to support model development and facilitate reuse so a model can be used to solve various problems and so model components can be easily modified to model similar systems. To implement this, Omola supports modern concepts for model structuring. Models can be hierarchically decomposed with well-defined interfaces to describe interaction with other components. All model components are represented as classes. Inheritance and specialization supports easy modification. Omola supports differential-algebraic equations, difference equations, and discrete events to describe model behavior in a natural way, which also allows modularization and use of a model for various purposes
