Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This package provides predefined types, such as Mass, Angle, Time, based on the international standard on units, e.g.,

type Angle = Real(final quantity = "Angle",
                  final unit     = "rad",
                  displayUnit   = "deg");

Some of the types are derived SI units that are utilized in package Modelica (such as ComplexCurrent, which is a complex number where both the real and imaginary part have the SI unit Ampere).

Furthermore, conversion functions from non SI-units to SI-units and vice versa are provided in subpackage Conversions.

For an introduction how units are used in the Modelica Standard Library with package Units, have a look at: How to use Units.
