My 1D Simulation Experience in Dymola **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ihsan F. | System Simulation Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Dymola?** I worked for almost year in Dymola. It is more user friendly. We can change the inner modelica codes of each submodel in libraries. I worked on Autombile Airconditioning. My objective was to model a pipe which can calculate the pressure drop during 2 phase flow using existing pipe models in dymola. So I developed new pipe models using existing models in dymola for that particular project. The simulation results came very close to actual results after i modelled the pipes. so, I like Dymola very much. Also, there is option to run c codes for automation of simulation. which helped me very much as I had to run a lots of simulations. **What do you dislike about Dymola?** Modelica codes are little difficult to understand. Also the submodels which are compactible to using in model should be highlighed properly. During compiling the reason for a some errors are very difficult to identify. there should be proper highlighting of the reason and the submodel which is causing the error. **Recommendations to others considering Dymola:** Dymola is more an open source type software because we can edit its submodels using modelica coding. It was very helpful for my project. if you have similar works this software is perfect for you. **What problems is Dymola solving and how is that benefiting you?** I worked on Autombile Airconditioning works in Dymola. I used 2 phase library mainly. I worked on pipe models with 2 phase pressure drop calculations. My objective is to model a pipe which can calculate the pressure drop during 2 phase flow using existing pipe models in dymola. So, for that I done lots of literature reviews and i found lots of correlations for finding pressure drop in pipe for multiphase flow. As we can edit most sub models of Dymola, It was very helpful for my project. ### 4.
