NMF Translator

The Neutral Model Format is a language for description of equation-based simulation models. It has two main objectives:

Models can be automatically translated into the local representation of several simulation environments, i.e. the format is program neutral and machine readable.

Models should be easy to understand and express for non-experts.

NMF Translator

The IDA NMF Translator is used for NMF model development and translation to IDA, TRNSYS, or HVACSIM+.

Main features include:

		Multiple document source code editor.
		Direct error feedback in source code window.
		Optional batch mode operation.
		Extensive semantic as well as syntactic error checking.
		Powerful symbolic model processing for, e.g., automatic generation of analytical Jacobians.
		Help-files for NMF syntax description.
		Automatic model documentation in HTML.
		Additional code generators are easily added.
