About OpenModelica
OpenModelica is an open source modeling and simulation environment based on the Modelica language, intended for industrial and academic use. Its development is supported by the Open Source Modelica Consortium (OSMC), a non-profit organization. The platform aims to provide a comprehensive Modelica modeling, compilation, and simulation environment distributed in both binary and source code forms for research, teaching, and industrial applications. OpenModelica supports the Modelica Standard Library and is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is designed to facilitate the development and execution of both low-level and high-level numerical algorithms, making it suitable for control system design, solving nonlinear equation systems, and developing optimization algorithms applied to complex applications. The platform also offers tools for debugging, visualization, and animation, enhancing the user experience in modeling and simulation tasks.

MPCPy
MPCPy is a Python package that facilitates the testing and implementation of occupant-integrated model predictive control (MPC) for building systems. The package focuses on the use of data-driven, simplified physical or statistical models to predict building performance and optimize control. Four main modules contain object classes to import data, interact with real or emulated systems, estimate and validate data-driven models, and optimize control input. While MPCPy provides an integration platform, it relies on free, open-source, third-party software packages for model implementation, simulators, parameter estimation algorithms, and optimization solvers. This includes Python packages for scripting and data manipulation as well as other more comprehensive software packages for specific purposes. In particular, modeling and optimization for physical systems currently rely on the Modelica language specification.

Prism
Prism is Navier AI’s desktop AI engineering platform for hardware, mechanical, aerospace, and other engineering teams. It combines parametric CAD, 3D viewing, physics simulation, code editing, and reporting in one application. Users can describe a part or study in natural language, create or refine CAD, and use AI agents to configure and run physics solvers, write scripts, inspect results, and generate plots, dashboards, reports, or slides. The solver catalog includes 12 solver families, such as OpenFOAM, SU2, CalculiX, Elmer, Project Chrono, and OpenModelica, plus Navier AI’s Ferro solver. Engineers can import STEP files, review scripts, meshes, and solver inputs, and run multiple agents in parallel to explore designs. Prism installs on Windows, macOS, and Linux; local solver workflows run on the user’s computer. The agent requires an internet connection and sends the content it reads to Navier AI’s model backend. Optional cloud compute can run approved solver jobs.
