Deploying Modelica models into multiple simulation environments

A model import tool referred to as the MutliTranslator (MT), which is used by the Paragon modeling environment is described in this paper. The MultiTranslator is based on a standard XML format and also provides an interactive wizard to add and/or edit any information to the imported model. The approach described here also further demonstrates how Paragon's XML schema can act as a centroid for third party tools and make the models available in widely used languages like VHDL-AMS, Verilog-AMS and MAST. This mechanism is illustrated with importing a Modelica model into the virtual test bed (VTB) simulation environment.
