OpenModelica is a unique large-scale integrated open-source Modelica-and FMI-based modeling, simulation, optimization, model-based analysis and development environment.Moreover, the environment provides number of facilities such as debugging; optimization; visualization 3D animation; web-based model editing simulation; scripting from Modelica, Python, Julia, Matlab; efficient simulation co-simulation models; compilation for embedded systems; Modelica-UML integration; requirement verification; generation parallel code multi-core architectures.The based on equation-based object-oriented Modelica language currently uses MetaModelica extended version its compiler implementation.This overview paper gives an up-to-date description capabilities system, short overviews used open source symbolic numeric algorithms with pointers to published literature, tool integration aspects, some lessons learned, main vision behind development.
