Designing and developing advanced aircraft escape systems for fighter pilots
January 16, 2018
Fighter pilots often face critical and life-threatening situations that require a military aircraft manufacturer to design and expertly craft escape systems – ensuring safety opportunities exist in case of emergency evacuation. In a previous project, Modelon worked with a military aircraft manufacturer on escape systems, specifically the pilot ejector seat, that would propel a pilot’s […]
Integrated CO2 Absorption Process in a Coal-Fired Power Plant
January 3, 2018
It’s no secret that global governments are implementing greenhouse gas policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. These policies have a direct impact on the power generation sector as carbon capture and storage technologies are essentially the only option available for fossil-based power generation to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions. So, how will they do it? […]
Integrating Thermal Management Systems for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
November 8, 2017
Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are intensively being developed by the automotive industry to replace conventional vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. These vehicles specifically require a tighter integration of the thermal management system with the cabin air conditioning. Why are expectations on the cooling system so high for electric vehicles? The Li-ion batteries […]
Validating Fuel Cell Efficiencies
August 15, 2017
In the last decade, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have seen an up-tick in popularity and practicality as OEMs and economies work to reach regional and global environmental goals. The automotive industry stands to gain the most from these technologies as PEMFC offer benefits that include: low emissions, in comparison to the archaic internal […]
Model-Based Systems Engineering for Aircraft Engines
June 27, 2017
Modelon’s Jet Propulsion Library provides the foundation for modeling and simulating jet engines along with the integrated model-based systems engineering of aircraft systems.

Architecture Based Vehicle Modeling
May 23, 2017
Reviewing Architecture-Based Approaches for Vehicle Modeling All Modelon libraries are developed to adhere to the open-standard, Modelica language. We, at Modelon, thrive in this language standard for many reasons and fully leverage it in the use of templates and model architectures to rapidly create models and model variants. Modelon’s Vehicle Dynamics Library utilizes this template-based […]
