Martin M onnigmann2008PrefacePrefaceThis thesis can be regarded as a follow-up project to the PhD thesis of Tegetho (1999)moving from his C++ simulation platform to a component model library written in Modelicacomplemented by a uid property library developed in C/C++ with interfaces to various soft-ware tools and programming languages including Modelica. The thesis belongs somewherein the intersection of Computer Science, Systems Design Engineering, and Thermodynamics.It examines the advantages and possible pitfalls of object-oriented model library design usingthe free object-oriented modeling language Modelica. During the time of the library devel-opment, I was involved in the design of parts of the Modelica Standard Library and got verygood insight into the language design itself by being a member of the Modelica Association.
