I don’t know what this is.

There’s not a single example on the landing page. There’s not a single example on any of the main links from the landing page.

But the landing page does have a merch store so you can buy mugs and hoodies and look at huge company logos of “organizational members”, whatever that is.

You made something. Show me what you made. I’m probably not going to spend more than 30 seconds trying to figure it out unless I already know I need it.

Why make it so difficult?




Agreed. I needed a few clicks to get to here:

I think it's actually pretty modern. Compare to the USB consortium:

https://www.usb.org

or PCI-SIG:

https://pcisig.com

Or maybe the design language is too modern...did you mistake it for a startup project rather than a 25+ year old industry standard?

It's interesting to contemplate the idea that being too modern might have a detrimental effect on perception and expectation. How would you have reacted to the site design circa 2018? http://web.archive.org/web/20180214180117/https://www.modeli...


Because it is not for you.

It is for people simulating complex multi-disciplinary systems, who need a way to describe, bundle and exchange the behavior of a system.


"Modelica is an object oriented language to model cyber-physical systems."

Literally the first sentence.


There's a big difference between showing and telling. GP wants a demo that makes it clear that something interesting has been produced.


Modelica is is in wide use in many industries, just not yours apparently. This is kinda like linking to Java or C++ and then being surprised it doesn’t have a top level intro explaining how to use it.


That doesn't mean anything to somone who doesn't already know what Modelica is. It would be hard to be more vague. C++ technically satisfies that definition.
