Description

ExtendSim offers a comprehensive suite of tools suitable for various simulation tasks. Regardless of your intended application—whether it's model creation, execution, or analysis—there's a tailored package available to meet your specific requirements. The product range includes options for model construction, experimentation, and analytical assessment, along with Model Developer Editions and specialized packages focused on simulation execution, model evaluation, or educational purposes. To determine the most appropriate package for your needs, you can explore the User Types section. Users can create, utilize, and dynamically run models, develop custom interfaces and components, as well as exchange and control data with other software applications. Each Model Developer Edition (MDE) of ExtendSim retains a unified core of functionalities, allowing users to design and assemble models and interfaces, adjust parameters, execute simulations and animations, conduct experiments, and perform analyses and optimizations—all while being able to save and export their results effectively. This flexibility ensures that users can fully leverage ExtendSim's capabilities to enhance their simulation experience.

Description

MPCPy is a Python library designed to support the testing and execution of occupant-integrated model predictive control (MPC) within building systems. This tool emphasizes the application of data-driven, simplified physical or statistical models to forecast building performance and enhance control strategies. It comprises four primary modules that provide object classes for data importation, interaction with real or simulated systems, data-driven model estimation and validation, and optimization of control inputs. Although MPCPy serves as a platform for integration, it depends on various free, open-source third-party software for model execution, simulation, parameter estimation techniques, and optimization solvers. This encompasses Python libraries for scripting and data manipulation, along with more specialized software solutions tailored for distinct tasks. Notably, the modeling and optimization tasks related to physical systems are currently grounded in the specifications of the Modelica language, which enhances the flexibility and capability of the package. In essence, MPCPy enables users to leverage advanced modeling techniques through a versatile and collaborative environment.
