- Free & Open Source Software (FOSS)
- Supports the Modelica open standard language for modeling and simulation of physical systems
- Supports a wide range of mathematical calculations and simulations
- Extensive model libraries and large, active user community
- Suffers from tool featuritis and UX is gratuitously complex
- Does not support SysML/UML interoperability with the exception of SysML Parametric (PAR) diagrams
- Recommended as a pragmatic FOSS alternative to MATLAB/Simulink

- Review Summary:
OpenModelica is an open-source software tool for modeling, simulating, and analyzing complex systems. It is based on the Modelica modeling language, which is a standard language for modeling and simulation of physical systems.
Some of the major features of OpenModelica include:
- Support for the Modelica modeling language, as well as other standard modeling languages such as UML and SysML
- A user-friendly interface with a graphical modeling environment
- The ability to import and export models from other tools, such as MagicDraw and Enterprise Architect
- Tools for simulating, analyzing, and visualizing system behavior
- Built-in support for discrete-event, continuous-time, and hybrid simulation
- The ability to define custom simulation models and create custom simulation scenarios
OpenModelica supports a wide range of standard programming languages, including C, C++, and Python. It is developed and maintained by the Open Source Modelica Consortium, which is a non-profit, non-governmental group of organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting and advancing the use of the Modelica language. OpenModelica is available as free and open-source software. It is difficult to estimate the approximate number of users of this tool, as it is open-source and the number of users may vary.
Overall, OpenModelica is a comprehensive and powerful tool for modeling, simulating, and analyzing complex systems. It has a user-friendly interface and supports a wide range of standard modeling languages, making it versatile and flexible. It is available as free and open-source software, which makes it an attractive option for many users. However, it may not have all of the features and capabilities that some users may need for advanced modeling and simulation tasks.
