Hybrid systems are dynamical systems composed of components with discrete and continuous behavior. Some systems change their structure during simulation, or their components behavior is essentially changing. This “structural dynamics” can be described in some modeling languages but the...

Technical systems can be characterized very often as complex heterogeneous. Many simulation algorithms exist for the analysis of continuous and discrete systems. However, the first modeling steps in the physical domains have not been sufficiently assisted by CAD tools. Multiports and generalized...
