+### Modelica Stuff
+
+EU spent 75 million on Modelica stuff in 2007-2015.
+
+"World3 in Modelica: Creating System Dynamics Models in the Modelica Framework"
+(2008)
+
+modelicac: a C compiler for modelica. Implemented in Ocaml.
+http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/modelicac.1.html
+
+Integration into Scilab
+
+OpenModelica
+
+PySimulator
+https://github.com/PySimulator/PySimulator/
+
+Some internal and implementation details are discussed in:
+"Introduction to the Dynamic Modelling of Thermo-Fluid Systems using Modelica"
+http://staff.polito.it/roberto.zanino/sub1/teach_files/modelica_minicourse/index_modelica.html
+
+'Flat' vs. 'Object Oriented' modelica modeling
+"Consistent terminology: Modeling, DAE, ODE"
+http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37354272/consistent-terminology-modeling-dae-ode
+
+The "Replaceable Submodels" aspect of modelica seems relevant.
