Modelica has achieved a great success in the last decade. Universal modeling concepts, object-oriented facilities and large set of libraries in several physical domains allow for rapid prototyping of multidisciplinary applications. A larger community can benefit from these capabilities if Modelica-based components can be integrated into their favourite simulation tools. This work addresses the impact of transferring Modelica prototyping capabilities into different classes of simulation tools:
more » ... neral-purpose modeling tools, domain-specific tools and academical research-oriented simulation environments. In particular, it shows that the realization of model-based research of cyberphysical systems shall benefit from the convergence of such efforts using the functional mockup interface.
