Our Modelica courses
With us, you will learn the basics of Modelica and optionally our model library TIL through many examples. By the end you will be able to understand even complex model structures. We put a lot of emphasis on a hands-on learning experience in small learning groups. Our experienced teachers will help you over the first hurdles and show you important modeling tricks. Of course, physical well-being is also taken care of and we strive for a family atmosphere with enough breaks for discussions and relaxation. After all, our courses are intensive and demanding, but the high learning success and the solid knowledge base are the reward.

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.

Do you have more than one participant, specific scheduling requirements, or would you like to hold the training at your location? In these cases, we will be happy to make you an individual offer for a training course.
In principle, you are free to choose the date and location. You can choose from all topics of the Modelica and TIL training. But also other aspects of modeling, simulation and mathematical optimization can be the subject of the training. We are happy to teach the contents using practical examples from the field of thermodynamics and process engineering. For example, we have already conducted training courses on "Model Predictive Control" and seminars on "Air Conditioning of Electric Vehicles".
Prices for an individual training, seminar or workshop start at 2500 € per day. If you are curious and want to know more about possible topics and the process of a training, just contact us. It costs nothing to ask 😉
