Our Modelica courses
We will teach you the basics of the modelling language Modelica and optionally our model library TIL Suite using practical examples. At the end of the training, you will be able to understand and apply even complex modelling structures. Our simulation experts will guide you through the initial challenges and provide valuable tips on modelling. In our Online Trainings, you can book individual one-to-one sessions with an expert and learn flexibly and from any location using training videos. On-site Trainings are designed with your physical well-being in mind, providing a pleasant atmosphere with space for dialogue and relaxation. Our training courses are intensive and demanding, but a high level of learning success and a solid knowledge base more than pay for themselves.

Our training course focuses on object-oriented modeling and simulation with Modelica by example of thermal systems.
The Modelica training course includes following topics and examples:
- Equation-based formulation of differential-algebraic equation systems
- Object-oriented analysis and modeling
- Formulation of physical balances and conservation laws
- Characterization of DAE systems and solution processes such as index reduction
- Hybrid (event-oriented) modeling
- Creation of an object-oriented model library
After the training, you will be able to independently create Modelica models based on an object-oriented approach. You will also gain the necessary mathematical and numerical understanding to formulate balanced Modelica models and to recognize and deal with numerical difficulties in the solving process. We also teach you the technical fundamentals of simulation required to understand complex libraries.
The training is conducted either online (3 days) or at our office locations (2 days). In both cases, the course lasts a total of 18 hours including breaks. The on-site training is conducted in a small group (max. 12 people) with two trainers, so everyone gets the support they need. For online training, you get access to the training videos (in English) and can work at your own pace. Meanwhile, our trainers are available online to answer individual questions and requests. To do so, simply book your personal training session online via a link. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussions, both offline and online. And don't worry about language barriers, our trainers speak fluent German and English.
For the online course you need a computer with a reliable internet connection. A microphone, speakers and a webcam are required for communication. The course examples and necessary software (Dymola or OpenModelica) will be provided, and we will test the functionality with you in advance. For on-site training, we can provide you with a computer if needed.
If you are interested in the training and would like to learn more about the content, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will do our best to meet your specific needs and look forward to hearing from you.

This training course is an introduction to our Modelica library TIL for simulation of thermal systems. It addresses simulation and modeling engineers with basic knowledge of the Modelica language. The TILTraining course follows up on our Modelica Training course.
The main learning objectives are:
- Modelling and design concepts of TIL
- Transfer of modeling concepts to own libraries
- Advanced Modelica language techniques
- Usage and extension of TIL and TILMedia
- Improvement of problem solving competence
The training starts with getting to know and testing existing system models, followed by building complex thermodynamic systems with the existing component models (e.g. fans, heat exchangers and interfaces) of the library. Finally, you will write your own models for specific components and modify equations for transport phenomena to extend and adapt the TIL library to individual requirements.
The training is conducted either online (2days) or at our office locations (1 day). In both cases, the course lasts a total of 9 hours including breaks. The on-site training is conducted in a small group (max. 12 people) with two trainers, so everyone gets the support they need. With online training, you get access to the training videos (in English) and can work at your own pace. Meanwhile, our trainers are available online to answer individual questions and requests. To do so, simply book your personal training session online via a link. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussions, both offline and online.

The TIL advanced training is designed to enable participants to better understand TIL models and help them customize the library according to their needs. Additionally, numerical problems that are common to the modeling of thermal systems are analyzed and it is shown how TIL handles these problems.
The training is designed for engineers who already have some experience in the use of TIL and use it regularly. The topics covered by the basic TIL and Modelica training should be known to every participant.
The TIL Advanced Training covers the following topics:
- Categorization of equations in Dymola
- Common numerical problems: Large non-linear systems, chattering and stiffness
- Implementation of specific components based on TIL models
- Implementation of own correlations for transport phenomena
- Numerical tricks within TIL
- Handling of frosting in heat exchangers
The training will be conducted in an online meeting of at least 6 hours including one break. There will be a small group of participants and one trainer. The training will be held in English. Future training will be available as a combination of video content and one-to-one training sessions (we keep you up to date 😉).
For the online course you will need a computer with a reliable internet connection. A microphone, speakers and webcam are required for communication. As the training is for experienced users, we expect you to have the necessary software (Dymola and TIL) installed. Let us know if you need help or a trial license.
If you are interested in the training and would like to learn more about the content, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will do our best to meet your specific needs and look forward to hearing from you.

This training is an introduction to our Process Systems Library (PSL) – a Modelica-based library for the dynamic simulation of energy and process systems. The training is aimed at simulation and modeling engineers with basic knowledge of the Modelica language. The PSL training builds on our Modelica fundamentals course. Key learning objectives:
- Modeling and design concepts of the Process Systems Library (PSL)
- Creating and customizing your own models for energy and process systems
- Building complete model using PEM electrolysis as an example
- Improving problem-solving skills in model development and simulation>
The training starts with exploring and testing existing process models. You will then build your own PEM electrolyzer model step by step as a practical example. You will also learn how to create and use your own models within the PSL framework.
The training takes place entirely online and is divided into live interactive sessions over two days. Our experienced trainers will guide you through the content step by step and are available to answer questions and provide individual support throughout the sessions. The training is conducted in English, but our trainers also speak German.
For participation, you will need a computer with a stable internet connection as well as a microphone, speakers, and webcam. All required software (Dymola and PSL) and training examples will be provided in advance. We will schedule a short technical test with you beforehand to ensure everything works smoothly.
If you are interested in the PSL training or would like more information, feel free to contact us. We are happy to answer your questions and look forward to your participation.
