Abstract
While equations are an essential part of model development, it quickly becomes tedious to write out all the equations for the components in a system. In this chapter, we show how to reuse constitutive equations like Ohm’s law and automatically generate conservation equations for quantities like energy and mass. In doing so, it is possible to quickly build up large models of interacting components. Once again, examples will demonstrate various language features and the section at the end of the chapter will discuss these features in detail.
