The Modelica By Example target code is:

within ModelicaByExample.Components.HeatTransfer.Examples;
model Cooling "A model using generic convection to ambient conditions"
  ThermalCapacitance cap(C=0.12, T0(displayUnit="K") = 363.15)
    "Thermal capacitance component"
    annotation ...
  Convection convection(h=0.7, A=1.0)
    annotation ...
  AmbientCondition amb(T_amb(displayUnit="K") = 298.15)
    annotation ...
equation
  connect(convection.port_a, cap.node) annotation ...
  connect(amb.node, convection.port_b) annotation ...
end Cooling;

This just connects up the components that were defined in the previous few slides, along with some 'start' values. In SysPhS we use SysML context-specific values carried by the indicated instances.

The block Cooling exports via SysPhS to Modelica as:


model Cooling
  Cooling _Cooling;
  model Cooling
    Convection conv(h.start=0.7,h.fixed=true,a.start=1.0,a.fixed=true);
    AmbientCondition amb(tAmb.start=298.15,tAmb.fixed=true);
    ThermalCapacitance cap(c.start=0.12,c.fixed=true,node.t.start=363.15,node.t.fixed=true);
  equation
    connect(cap.node,conv.hPA);
    connect(conv.hPB,amb.node);
  end Cooling;
  model Convection
    parameter CoefficientOfHeatTransfer h;
    parameter Area a;
    HeatPortA hPA;
    HeatPortB hPB;
  equation
    hPA.hFR+hPB.hFR=0;
    hPA.hFR=h*a*(hPA.t-hPB.t);
  end Convection;
  model AmbientCondition
    HeatPortA node;
    parameter Temperature tAmb;
  equation
    node.t=tAmb;
  end AmbientCondition;
  model ThermalCapacitance
    parameter HeatCapacitance c;
    parameter Temperature t0;
    HeatPortA node;
  equation
    c*der(node.t)=node.hFR;
  end ThermalCapacitance;
  connector HeatPortA
    extends HeatFlowElement;
  end HeatPortA;
  connector HeatPortB
    extends HeatFlowElement;
  end HeatPortB;
  connector HeatFlowElement
    flow HeatFlowRate hFR;
    Temperature t;
  end HeatFlowElement;
  type CoefficientOfHeatTransfer=Real(unit="W/(m2.K)");
  type Area=Real(unit="m2");
  type Temperature=Real(unit="K");
  type HeatCapacitance=Real(unit="J/K");
  type HeatFlowRate=Real(unit="J/s");
end Cooling;
