#
# The first entry on a line is a filename which will be checked out from

# The remainder of the line is an error message to use if the file cannot
# be checked out.
#
# File format:
#
#	[<whitespace>]<filename><whitespace><error message><end-of-line>

# The "commitinfo" file is used to control pre-commit checks.
# The filter on the right is invoked with the repository and a list 
# of files to check.  A non-zero exit of the filter program will 
# cause the commit to be aborted.
#
# The first entry on a line is a regular expression which is tested
# against the directory that the change is being committed to, relative
# to the $CVSROOT.  For the first match that is found, then the remainder
# of the line is the name of the filter to run.
#
# If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this
# file, the "DEFAULT" line is used, if it is specified.
#
# If the name "ALL" appears as a regular expression it is always used
# in addition to the first matching regex or "DEFAULT".

# Set this to "no" if pserver shouldn't check system users/passwords
#SystemAuth=no

# Set `PreservePermissions' to `yes' to save file status information
# in the repository.

# level of the new working directory when using the `cvs checkout'
# command.
#TopLevelAdmin=no

# This file affects handling of files based on their names.
#
# The -t/-f options allow one to treat directories of files
# as a single file, or to transform a file in other ways on
# its way in and out of CVS.
#
# The -m option specifies whether CVS attempts to merge files.
#
# The -k option specifies keyword expansion (e.g. -kb for binary).
#
# Format of wrapper file ($CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers or .cvswrappers)
#
#  wildcard	[option value][option value]...
#
#  where option is one of
#  -f		from cvs filter		value: path to filter
#  -t		to cvs filter		value: path to filter
#  -m		update methodology	value: MERGE or COPY
#  -k		expansion mode		value: b, o, kkv, &c
#
#  and value is a single-quote delimited value.
# For example:
#*.gif -k 'b'

# The "editinfo" file is used to allow verification of logging
# information.  It works best when a template (as specified in the
# rcsinfo file) is provided for the logging procedure.  Given a
# template with locations for, a bug-id number, a list of people who
# reviewed the code before it can be checked in, and an external
# process to catalog the differences that were code reviewed, the
# following test can be applied to the code:
#
#   Making sure that the entered bug-id number is correct.
#   Validating that the code that was reviewed is indeed the code being
#       checked in (using the bug-id number or a seperate review
#       number to identify this particular code set.).
#
# If any of the above test failed, then the commit would be aborted.
#
# Actions such as mailing a copy of the report to each reviewer are
# better handled by an entry in the loginfo file.
#
# One thing that should be noted is the the ALL keyword is not
# supported.  There can be only one entry that matches a given
# repository.

# The "loginfo" file controls where "cvs commit" log information
# is sent.  The first entry on a line is a regular expression which must match
# the directory that the change is being made to, relative to the
# $CVSROOT.  If a match is found, then the remainder of the line is a filter
# program that should expect log information on its standard input.
#
# If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this
# file, the "DEFAULT" line is used, if it is specified.
#
# If the name ALL appears as a regular expression it is always used
# in addition to the first matching regex or DEFAULT.
#
# You may specify a format string as part of the
# filter.  The string is composed of a `%' followed
# by a single format character, or followed by a set of format
# characters surrounded by `{' and `}' as separators.  The format
# characters are:
#
#   s = file name
#   V = old version number (pre-checkin)
#   v = new version number (post-checkin)
#
# For example:
#DEFAULT (echo ""; id; echo %s; date; cat) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog
# or
#DEFAULT (echo ""; id; echo %{sVv}; date; cat) >> $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog

# Lines to mail changes
CVSROOT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/syncmail %{sVv} gawthrop@users.sourceforge.net
DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/syncmail %{sVv} mtt-checkins@lists.sourceforge.net

# Three different line formats are valid:
#	key	-a    aliases...
#	key [options] directory
#	key [options] directory files...
#
# Where "options" are composed of:
#	-i prog		Run "prog" on "cvs commit" from top-level of module.
#	-o prog		Run "prog" on "cvs checkout" of module.
#	-e prog		Run "prog" on "cvs export" of module.
#	-t prog		Run "prog" on "cvs rtag" of module.
#	-u prog		Run "prog" on "cvs update" of module.
#	-d dir		Place module in directory "dir" instead of module name.
#	-l		Top-level directory only -- do not recurse.
#
# NOTE:  If you change any of the "Run" options above, you'll have to
# release and re-checkout any working directories of these modules.
#
# And "directory" is a path to a directory relative to $CVSROOT.
#
# The "-a" option specifies an alias.  An alias is interpreted as if
# everything on the right of the "-a" had been typed on the command line.
#
# You can encode a module within a module by using the special '&'
# character to interpose another module into the current module.  This
# can be useful for creating a module that consists of many directories
# spread out over the entire source repository.

# The "notify" file controls where notifications from watches set by
# "cvs watch add" or "cvs edit" are sent.  The first entry on a line is
# a regular expression which is tested against the directory that the
# change is being made to, relative to the $CVSROOT.  If it matches,
# then the remainder of the line is a filter program that should contain
# one occurrence of %s for the user to notify, and information on its
# standard input.
#
# "ALL" or "DEFAULT" can be used in place of the regular expression.
#
# For example:
#ALL mail %s -s "CVS notification"

# The "rcsinfo" file is used to control templates with which the editor
# is invoked on commit and import.
#
# The first entry on a line is a regular expression which is tested
# against the directory that the change is being made to, relative to the
# $CVSROOT.  For the first match that is found, then the remainder of the
# line is the name of the file that contains the template.
#
# If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this
# file, the "DEFAULT" line is used, if it is specified.
#
# If the name "ALL" appears as a regular expression it is always used
# in addition to the first matching regex or "DEFAULT".

"""Complicated notification for CVS checkins.

This script is used to provide email notifications of changes to the CVS
repository.  These email changes will include context diffs of the changes.
Really big diffs will be trimmed.

This script is run from a CVS loginfo file (see $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo).  To
set this up, create a loginfo entry that looks something like this:

    mymodule /path/to/this/script %%s some-email-addr@your.domain

In this example, whenever a checkin that matches `mymodule' is made, this
script is invoked, which will generate the diff containing email, and send it
to some-email-addr@your.domain.

    Note: This module used to also do repository synchronizations via
    rsync-over-ssh, but since the repository has been moved to SourceForge,
    this is no longer necessary.  The syncing functionality has been ripped
    out in the 3.0, which simplifies it considerably.  Access the 2.x versions
    to refer to this functionality.  Because of this, the script is misnamed.

It no longer makes sense to run this script from the command line.  Doing so
will only print out this usage information.

Usage:

    %(PROGRAM)s [options] <%%S> email-addr [email-addr ...]

Where options is:

    --cvsroot=<path>
    	Use <path> as the environment variable CVSROOT.  Otherwise this
    	variable must exist in the environment.

    --help / -h
        Print this text.

    --context=#
    -C #
        Include # lines of context around lines that differ (default: 2).

    -c
        Produce a context diff (default).

    -u
        Produce a unified diff (smaller).

    --quiet/-q
        Don't print as much status to stdout.

    <%%S>
        CVS %%s loginfo expansion.  When invoked by CVS, this will be a single
        string containing the directory the checkin is being made in, relative
        to $CVSROOT, followed by the list of files that are changing.  If the
        %%s in the loginfo file is %%{sVv}, context diffs for each of the
        modified files are included in any email messages that are generated.

    email-addrs
        At least one email address.

@top MTT
@strong{MTT} is a set of Model Transformation Tools based on bond graphs.
@strong{MTT} implements the theory to be found in the book ``Metamodelling: Bond
Graphs and Dynamic Systems'' by Peter Gawthrop and Lorcan Smith
published by Prentice Hall in 1996 (ISBN 0-13-489824-9).

It implements two features not discussed in that book:
@itemize @bullet
@item 
bicausal bond graphs and
@item
hierarchical bond graphs.

@pindex MTT

@strong{MTT} is a set of Model Transformation Tools based on bond
graphs.  @strong{MTT} implements the theory to be found in the book
``Metamodelling: Bond Graphs and Dynamic Systems'' by Peter Gawthrop and
Lorcan Smith published by Prentice Hall in 1996 (ISBN 0-13-489824-9).

It implements two features not discussed in that book:
@itemize @bullet
@item 
bicausal bond graphs and
@item
hierarchical bond graphs.
@end itemize

In the context of software, it has been said that one good tool is worth many
packages. UNIX is a good example of this philosophy: the user can put together
applications from a range of ready made tools.
This manual describes the application of this philosophy to dynamic
system modeling embodied in @strong{MTT} - a set of Model Transformation Tools
each of which implements a single transformation between system
representations.


System representations have two attributes. 
@itemize @bullet
@item
 A Form: e.g. acausal bond graph, differential algebraic, linear
                state-space etc.
@item
A Language: e.g. Fig, Matlab, LaTeX, Reduce, postscript etc.
@end itemize

Transformations in @strong{MTT} are accomplished using appropriate software (e.g.
Octave/Matlab, Reduce) encapsulated in UNIX Bourne shell scripts. The
relationships between the tools are encoded in a Make File; thus the
user can specify a final representation and all the necessary
intermediate transformations are automatically generated.

@section What is a representation?

@cindex Representations, what are they?

@pindex Representations

Physical systems have many representations. These include
@itemize @bullet
@item
a schematic diagram,
@item
a block diagram,
@item
a bunch of equations,
@item
a single differential(-algebraic) equation,
@item
simulation code,
@item
linearised state-space (or descriptor) equations,
@item
transfer function (of the linearised system),
@item
frequency response  (of the linearised system),
@item
etc...
@end itemize

Each of these representations is related to other representations by an
appropriate transformation (@pxref{What is a Transformation?}. In many cases, a
modeler is presented with a physical system and needs to make a
model. In particular, a model, in this context, is a representation of
the system appropriate to a particular use, for example:
@itemize @bullet
@item
simulation,
@item
control system design,
@item
optimisation
@item
etc.
@end itemize

Indeed, for a given physical system, the modeler would need to derive
a number of models. This process can be viewed as a series of steps;
each involving a transformation between representations (@pxref{What is a Transformation?}.


In this context, the following considerations are relevant.
@itemize @bullet
@item
There is a unique `core' representation of any system.
There are many routes  from this core representation, each leading to
an appropriate model.
There are many possible routes  to this core representation
from the physical system: the route chosen is a matter of convenience.
@item
Because the core representation is unique, it is easy to expand the
tool-box to include additional transformations from the physical system
to the core representation and additional transformations from the core
representation to the mode.
@item
Transformation_1 probably cannot, and certainly should not, be
completely automated.  Engineering insight, knowledge and experience is
essential to capture the essence (with respect to the particular use) of
the physical system whilst discarding irrelevant form.
@item
Representation_1 should be `close' in some sense to the Physical system.
@item
The core representation, and hence the representations leading to it,
must contain enough information to generate all of the required models.
@item
Representations must be easily extensible: it must be possible to add
extra components or attributes without restructuring the representation.
@end itemize

I happen to believe that Bond graphs (@pxref{Bond graphs}) provide the
most convenient and powerful basis for the core representation.

@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@section What is a transformation?
@cindex Transformations


Each system representation  (@pxref{What is a Representation?} is related to other representations by an
appropriate transformation as follows:
@itemize @bullet 
@item
 Physical system
@item
 Transformation_1 ---> Representation_1
@item
 Transformation_2 ---> Representation_2
@item
 ...
@item
 Transformation_N ---> Core representation
@item
 Transformation_N+1 ---> Representation_N+1
@item
 Transformation_N+2 ---> Representation_N+2
@item
 ...
@item
 Transformation_N+M ---> Model
@end itemize
Thus modeling is seen as a sequence of transformations between
representations.



@node Bond graphs, Variables, What is a Transformation?, Introduction
@section What is a bond graph?

@cindex Bond graphs, what are they?

@pindex Bond graphs

Bond graphs provide a graphical high-level language for describing
dynamic systems in a precise and unambiguous fashion. 
They make a clear distinction between structure (how components are
connected together), and behavior (the particular constitutive
relationships, or physical laws, describing each component.

They can describe a range of physical systems including:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Electrical systems
@item
Mechanical systems
@item
Hydraulic systems
@item
Chemical process systems
@end itemize

More importantly, they can describe systems which contain subsystems
drawn from all of these domains in a uniform manner.

Bond graphs are made up of components (@pxref{Components}) connected by
bonds (@pxref{Bonds}) which define the relationship between
variables (@pxref{Variables}).

@node Variables, Bonds, Bond graphs, Introduction
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@section Variables
@cindex Variables
In bond graph terminology there are four sorts of variables:
@itemize @bullet
@item  @emph{effort} variables
@item  @emph{flow} variables
@item  @emph{integrated effort} variables
@item  @emph{integrated flow} variables
@end itemize

Examples of  @emph{effort} variables are
@itemize @bullet
@item 
voltage
@item 
pressure
@item
force
@item
torque
@item
temperature
@end itemize

Examples of  @emph{flow} variables are
@itemize @bullet
@item 
current
@item 
volumetric flow rate
@item
velocity
@item
angular velocity
@item
heat flow
@end itemize



Examples of integrated  @emph{flow} variables are
@itemize @bullet
@item 
charge
@item

@item

@item
angular momentum
@item

@end itemize



@node Bonds, Components, Variables, Introduction
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@section Bonds
@cindex Bonds
Bonds connect components (@pxref{Components}) together. Each bond
carries two variables:
@itemize @bullet
@item an effort (@pxref{Variables}) variable and 
@item a flow (@pxref{Variables}) variable.
@end itemize
Each bond has three notations associated with it:
@itemize @bullet
@item a half-arrow,
@item a causal stroke and
@item a causal half-stroke.
@end itemize

The half-arrow indicates two things:
@itemize @bullet
@item the direction of power (or pseudo power) flow and
@item the side of the bond associated with the flow variable.
@end itemize

The causal stroke indicates two things:
@itemize @bullet
@item the effort variable is imposed at the same end as the stroke and
@item the flow variable is imposed at the opposite end to the stroke.
@end itemize

The causal half-stoke indicates one thing:
@itemize @bullet
@item if it is on the effort side of the bond, the effort variable is 
imposed at the same end as the stroke or
@item if it is on the flow side of the bond, the flow variable is 
imposed at the opposite end to the stroke.

@subsection Ports
@cindex ports
Components have one or more ports. Each port carries two variables,
and effort and a flow variable (@pxref{Variables}). Any pair of ports
can be connected by a bond (@pxref{Bonds}); this connection is
equivalent to saying that the effort variables at each port are
identical and that the flow variables at each port are
identical.

Ports are implemented in @strong{MTT} using named SS components.
(@pxref{Named SS components}).

The direction of the named SS components.
(@pxref{Named SS components}) 
is coerced (@pxref{Coerced bond direction}) to have the same direction
as the bons connected to the corresponding port. Thus the direction of
the  direction of the named SS components has no significance unless the
component is at the top level.

@node Constitutive relationship, Symbolic parameters, Ports, Components
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@subsection  Constitutive relationship
@cindex Constitutive Relationship

The constitutive relationship of a component defines how the port
variables are related. This relationship may be linear
or non-linear. This typically contains symbolic parameters
(@pxref{Symbolic parameters}) which may be replaced, for the purposes
of numerical analysis by numeric parameters
(@pxref{Numeric parameters}).

@node Symbolic parameters, Numeric parameters, Constitutive relationship, Components
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@subsection Symbolic parameters
@cindex Symbolic parameters
The constitutive relationship of a system component (@pxref{Components})
typically contains  symbolic parameters. For example a resistor may have
a symbolic resistance r. It is convenient to leave such parameters as
symbols when viewing equations or when performing symbolic analysis such
as differentiation.

However, @strong{MTT} allows replacement of symbolic parameters by
numeric parameters (@pxref{Numeric parameters}) when appropriate.

@node Numeric parameters,  , Symbolic parameters, Components
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@subsection Numeric parameters
@cindex Numeric parameters
Numerical parameters are needed to give specific values to symbolic
parameters (@pxref{Symbolic parameters}) for the purposes of numeric
analysis;
for example: simulation, graph plotting or use within a numerical
package such as Octave (@pxref{Octave}).


@node Algebraic loops, Switched systems, Components, Introduction
@section Algebraic loops
@cindex Algebraic loops
Following Chapter 3 of the book, algebraic loops appear as under-causal
components in the bond graph. It is up to the modeler to indicate how these loops
are to be resolved by adding appropriate SS elements.

For more information, refer to:
``Metamodelling: Bond Graphs and Dynamic Systems'' by Peter Gawthrop and
Lorcan Smith published by Prentice Hall in 1996 (ISBN 0-13-489824-9).

@node Switched systems,  , Algebraic loops, Introduction
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@section Switched systems
@cindex Switched systems
@cindex Hybrid systems
@cindex logic

Some systems contain switch-like components. For example an electrical
system may contain on-off switches and diodes and a hydraulic system may
shut-off valves and non-return valves. 

Such systems are sometimes called hybrid systems. The modelling an
simulation of such systems is the subject of current research.
@strong{MTT} implements a simple pragmatic approach to the modelling and
simulation of such systems via two new Bond Graph components:
@vtable @code
@item ISW     
        a switched @code{I} component
@item CSW     
        a switched @code{C} component

These switches are user controlled through the logic representation
(@pxref{Simulation logic}).

Some of these you will edit yourself; others can always be recreated by
@strong{MTT}. It makes sense, therefore to have a utility that removes
all of these other files when you have finished actively working with a
particular system. These are two versions:
@enumerate
@item
@code{mtt system clean}
@item
@code{mtt clean}
@end enumerate
The first removes all files that can be regenerated with @strong{MTT}
associated with system `system'; the second removes all such files
associated with all systems in the current working directory.

The files which remain after such a clean are the Defining
representations (@pxref{Defining representations}).

@subsection Version control
@cindex Version control

When you are working on a modeling project, it is easy to forget what
changes you made to a system and why you made them. Sometimes, you may
regret some changes and wish to revert to an earlier version: even if
you use .old files this may be difficult to achieve safely.

These are very similar problems to those faced by software developers
and can be solved in the same way: using version control.@strong{MTT}
provides version control using the standard GNU Revision Control System
(RCS). This is hidden from the user, but is fully complementary to
direct use of RCS (e.g. via emacs vc commands) to the more experienced
user who wishes to do so.

The only files that you should ever change (i.e. the ones never
overwritten by @strong{MTT}) are the Defining representations
(@pxref{Defining representations}).

All of the files, with the exception of @code{system_abg.fig}, 
are initially created by @strong{MTT} and contain the RCS header for
version control.


The @strong{MTT} version control will automatically expand this part of
the text to include all change comments that you give it -- so will
direct use of RCS (e.g. via emacs vc commands)

The @strong{MTT} version commands are as follows:
@ftable @code
@item mtt system representation vc
        Apply version control to representation `representation' of
system `system'.
@item mtt system vc
        Apply version control to all representations (under version control)
system `system'.
@end ftable

The first is appropriate after you have made a revision to a single
file.  It will prompt you for a change comment; this will be
automatically included in the file header. In addition, enough
information will be saved to enable any  version to be retrieved via
RCS.

The second is appropriate to record the state of the entire model. This
assumes that all relevant files have been recorded by the first version
of the command.  Once again, old versions of the entire model can be
retrieved using the relevant RCS commands.

A subdirectory `RCS' is created to hold this information. You need not
bother about the contents, except that you must not delete any files
within `RCS'.

you.  This chapter discusses the @strong{MTT} aspects of creating a

@cindex Quick start
@pindex Quick start

It is probably worth a quick skim though @strong{MTT} to get a flavour of
what it can do before plunging into the detail of the rest of this
document. Here is a series of commands to do this.

Copy an initial set of files describing the bond graph.
@example
mtt copy rc
@end example
@noindent 
Move to it.
@example
cd rc
@end example
@noindent 
@noindent 
View the acausal bond graph (the system is called ``rc'').
@example
mtt rc abg view
@end example
@noindent 
View the causal bond graph of the system.
@example
mtt rc cbg view
@end example
@noindent 
View the corresponding ordinary differential equations (ode).
@example
mtt rc ode view
@end example
@noindent 
View the system (output) step response
@example
mtt rc sro view
@end example

@noindent 
An alternative (but more general) way of achieving the same result is
@example
mtt -c rc odeso view
@end example

@noindent 
View the system transfer function
@example
mtt rc tf view
@end example
@noindent 
View the log modulus frequency response of the system.
@example
mtt rc lmfr view
@end example

@noindent 
View the log modulus frequency response of the system for 100
logarithmically spaced frequencies in the range 0.1 to 10
radians per second.
@example
mtt rc lmfr view 'W=logspace(-1,1,100);'
@end example

@strong{MTT} has a report generation ((@pxref{Report}) facility which
can generate a hypertext description of the system.
@example
mtt rc rep hview
@end example

The report contents are specified by the rep representation
(@pxref{Report}), in this case the corresponding file is:
@example
% %% Outline report file for system rc (rc_rep.txt)

mtt rc abg tex
mtt rc struc tex
mtt rc cbg ps
mtt rc ode tex
mtt rc ode dvi
mtt rc sm tex
mtt rc tf tex
mtt rc tf dvi
mtt rc sro ps
mtt rc lmfr ps
mtt rc odes h
mtt rc numpar txt
mtt rc input txt
mtt -c rc odeso ps
mtt rc rep txt
@end example
A non-hypertext version can be viewed using:
@example
mtt rc rep view
@end example

Now have a go at modifying the bond graph.
@example
mtt rc abg fig
@end example
This brings up the bond graph in Xfig (@pxref{Xfig}).  Try creating a
system with two rs and 2 cs.

More examples can be found using

mtt help examples
@end example
Details of an example can be found using
@example
mtt help <example_name>

and copied using

@section Creating simple models
@cindex Creating simple models

For then purposes of this section, simple models are those which are
built up from bond graphs involving predefined components. In contrast,
more complex systems (@pxref{Creating complex models}) need to be built
up hierarchically.

The recommended sequence of steps to create a simple model is:
@enumerate
@item Decide on a name for the system; let us call it `syst' for the
  purposes of this discussion. 
@item Invoke the Bond Graph editor to draw the acausal Bond Graph.
@example
  mtt syst abg fig
@end example
@item Draw the Bond Graph  (@pxref{Language fig (abg.fig)}), including
  the bonds (@pxref{Bonds}), the components (@pxref{Components}) and any
  artwork (@pxref{artwork}) to make the Bond Graph more readable. The
  graphical editor xfig is (@pxref{Xfig}) is self-explanatory.
  The icon library is helpful here (see @pxref{icon library}).
@item Add causal strokes (@pxref{strokes}) where needed to define
  causality. As a general rule, use the minimum number of strokes needed
  to define the problem; this will often be only on the @code{SS} components.
  (@pxref{SS components}).
  
  Save the bond graph.
  
@item View the corresponding causal bond graph.
@example
  mtt syst cbg view
@end example
@enumerate
@item 
    At this stage, @strong{MTT} will warn you that the labeled components do
    not appear in the label file - this can safely be ignored.
@item
  @strong{MTT} will indicate the percentage of components which are
    causally complete -- ideally this will be 100\%. Components which are
    not causally complete will be listed.
@item
    A view of the causal bond graph will be created. The added causal
    strokes are indicated in blue, undercausal components in green and
    overcausal components in red.
@item
    If the bond graph is causally complete, proceed to the next step,
    otherwise think hard and return to the first step.
@end enumerate

@item
At this stage, no constitutive relationships have been
defined. Nevertheless, @strong{MTT} will proceed in a semi-qualitative
fashion by assuming that all constitutive relationships are unity (and
therefore linear). It may be useful at this stage to view various
derived representations to check the overall model properties before
proceeding further. For example:
@enumerate
@item
View the system Differential-algebraic equations
@example
mtt syst dae view
@end example
@item
View the system state matrices
@example
mtt syst sm view
@end example
@item
View the system transfer function
@example
mtt syst tf view
@end example
@item
View the system step response
@example
mtt syst sro view
@end example
@end enumerate

@item
As well as creating the causal bond graph, @strong{MTT} has also
generated templates for other text files 
(@pxref{Defining representations})
used to further specify the
system.
These can now be edited using your favorite text editor (@pxref{Text
editors}).

@item @strong{MTT} will now generate the representations
(@pxref{Representation summary})that you desire.
For example the system can be simulated by
@example
mtt syst odeso view
@end example
@strong{MTT} will complain if a component is named in the bond graph but
not in the label file and vice versa. This mainly to catch typing errors.

@end enumerate

@section Creating complex models
@cindex Creating complex models

Complex models -- in distinction to simple models (@pxref{Creating
simple models}) -- have a hierarchical structure. In particular, bond
graph components can be created by specifying their bond
graph. Typically, such components will have more than one port
(@pxref{Ports}); within each component, ports are represented by
named SS components (@pxref{Named SS components}); outwith
each component, ports are unambiguously identified by 
labels (@pxref{Port labels}) and vector labels (@pxref{Vector port labels}).

Complex models are thus created by conceptually decomposing the system
into simple subsystems, and then creating the corresponding bond graphs.
The procedure for simple systems (@pxref{Creating simple models}) is
then followed using the top level system (@pxref{Top level}); @strong{MTT} then recursively
operates on the lower level systems.

The report representation (@pxref{Report}) provides a convenient way of
viewing a complex system.

An example of such a system can be created as follows:
@example
mtt copy twolink
mtt twolink rep hview
@end example

@ifhtml
The result is <A
HREF="./examples/twolink/twolink_rep/twolink_rep.html"> here</A>.

@chapter Simulation
@cindex Simulation
@pindex Simulation
One purpose of modelling is to simulate the modeled dynamic
system. Although this is just another transformation (@pxref{What is a
Transformation?}) and therefore is covered in the appropriate chapter
(@pxref{Representations}), it is important enough to be given its own
chapter.

Simulation is typically performed using an appropriate simulation
language (which is often inappropriately conflated with modelling
tools). @strong{MTT} provides a number of alternative routes to
simulation based on the following representations (@pxref{Representations}):
@ftable @code
@item cse
        constrained-state differential equation form
@item ode
        ordinary differential (or state-space) equations
@c  @item dae
@c          differential-algebraic (or generalised state-space) equations --
@c  these may be linear or nonlinear.
@end ftable
in each case these equations may be
linear or nonlinear.

Special cases of numerical simulation, appropriate to @emph{linear}
systems, are:
@ftable @code
@item   ir
        impulse response - state 
@item   iro
        impulse response - output 
@item   sr
        impulse response - state 
@item   sro
        impulse response - output 
@end ftable

There are a number of languages (@pxref{Languages}) which can be used to describe these
representations for the purposes of numerical simulation:
@ftable @code
@item m
        @code{octave} a high-level interactive language for numerical
        computation.
@item c
        @code{gcc} a c compiler.
@item cc
        @code{g++} a C++ front-end to gcc.
@end ftable

There are a number solution algorithms available:
@itemize @bullet
@item
explicit solution via the matrix exponential
@item
backward Euler integration (explicit)
@item
forward Euler integration (implicit)
@item
Runge Kutta IV integration (explicit, fixed step)
@item
Hybrd algebraic solver (MINPACK, Octave fsolve)
@c  @item
@c  LSODE (Hindmarsh's ODE solver as implemented in Octave)
@c  @item
@c  DASSL (Petzold's DAE solver as implemented in Octave) (Unavailable just now)
@end itemize

 However, all combinations of representation, language and solution
method are not supported by @strong{MTT} at the moment. Given a system
`system', some recommended commands are:
@ftable @code
@item mtt system iro view
        creates the impulse response of a @emph{linear} system via the
system_sm.m representation using explicit solution via the matrix exponential.
@item mtt system sro view
        creates the step response of a @emph{linear} system via the system_sm.m
representation using explicit solution via the matrix exponential.
@c  @item mtt system odeso view
@c          creates the step response of a @emph{nonlinear} system via the
@c  system_ode.m representation using either METHOD=Euler or
@c  METHOD=LSODE in the parameter file (@pxref{Simulation parameters}).
@item mtt -c system odeso view
        creates the response of a @emph{nonlinear} system via the
system_ode.c representation using implicit integration.
@item mtt -c -i euler system odeso view
        creates the response of a @emph{nonlinear} system via the
system_ode.c representation using euler integration.
@end ftable

Simulation parameters are described in the system_simpar.txt file
(@pxref{Simulation parameters}).

@strong{MTT} can compute the steady-state solutions of an ordinary

solution is computed as a function of time using the input specified in

where A is the linearised system matrix. This implies the solution of N

version used the `\' operator to solve the set of linear equations, the
C version uses LU decomposition.

If the system is linear, stability is ensured unconditionaly. If the
system is non-linear, then the method still works well.

This method is nice in that choice of DT trades of accuracy against
computation time without compromising stability. In addition, the
correct stready-state values are achieved.

This approach can also be used for constrained state equations of the
form:
@example
E(x) dx/dt = f(x,u)
@end example
where E(x) is a state-dependent matrix. The approximate solution is then
given by:
@example
(E(x)-A*DT)x := (E(x)-A*DT)x + f(x,u)DT
@end example
which reduces to the ordinary differential equation case when E(x)=I.

The _smx representation includes the E matrix.

The @strong{MTT} implementation of Runge-Kutta integration
is a fourth order, fixed-step, explicit integration method.

For some systems of equations, the increased accuracy of using a fourth order
method can allow larger step-lengths to be used than would allowed by the
 lower order Euler integration method.

It should be noted that during the interemediate calculations (k1...k4),
 the input vector @code{u} is not advanced w.r.t. time; the system inputs are
assumed to be constant over the period of the integration step-length.

The hybrd algebraic solver of @uref{http://www.netlib.org/minpack/hybrd.f,MINPACK},
which is used by Octave in the @code{fsolve} routine, may be used in conjunction
with one of the other integration methods to solve semi-explicit, index 1, differential
algebraic equations; these may be generated in @strong{MTT} models by use of 
@code{unknown} SS Components @pxref{SS component labels}.

This method requires that compiled simulation code is used; either -cc or -oct.
To perform a simulation based on a model @code{sys},

@example
mtt -cc -ae hybrd -i euler sys odeso view

@strong{MTT} will attempt to minimise the residual error at each integration time-step
using the hybrd routine.

This method of simulation is particularly well suited to stiff systems where very fast
dynamics are of little interest. Care must be taken to ensure that an acceptable level
of convergence is achieved by the solver for the system under investigation.

@c This is an experimental approach for large (N>50) systems.

@c Implicit integration (@pxref{Implicit integration}) requires the
@c solution of N linear equations at each step. This is an O(N^3) operation
@c which can be time consuming for large (N>50) systems. However, the A
@c matrix (and hence the (I-A*DT) matrix) is often sparse - most elements
@c are zero.

@c This method uses a conjugate-gradient optimisation method to solve the
@c linear equations
@c @example
@c (I-A*DT)x := (I-A*DT)x + f(x,u)DT
@c @end example
@c by recasting them as the minimisation of the quadratic function
@c @example
@c [(I-A*DT)x_new - (I-A*DT)x_old + f(x,u)DT]^2
@c @end example
@c with respect to x_new. This is solved by the conjugate gradient method.
@c MTT generates two representations _smxx.m and _smxtx to compute
@c (I-A*DT)x and (I-A*DT)'x respectively making full use of the sparsity of
@c the (I-A*DT) matrices to speed up the minimisation procedure.

@c A fixed number of iterations (STEPFACTOR) are used in each optimisation

user to correct discrepancies.

States are defined by the full system name appearing in the structure
file (@pxref{Structure (struc)}). They can depend on parameters.
For example
@example
system_c_l	= (1e4/k_l)/kg;
system_c_ll	= (1e4/k_s)/kg;
system_c_lr	= (1e4/k_s)/kg;
system_c_u	= (1e4/k_l)/kg;
@end example


@c  The initial state of a simulation of is set in the @code{state}

simulation code can be generated by @strong{MTT} in the form
of the @code{ode2odes} transformation. This can be produced in a number
of languages, including .m, .oct, C and C++ @pxref{Languages}.

To generate simulation code in C:
@example
mtt -c [options] sys ode2odes c
@end example

Similarly, to generate C++ code:
@example
mtt -cc [options] sys ode2odes cc

@section Simulation output
@cindex Simulation output
The view (@pxref{Views}) representation provides a graphical
representation of the results of a simulation; the postscript language
provides the same thing in a form that can be included in a document.

These are two simulation output representations
@ftable @code
@item odes 
        ordinary differential equation solution (states)
@item odeso
         ordinary differential equation solution (output)
@end ftable    

Particular output variables can be selected by adding a fourth argument
in one of 2 forms
@ftable @code
@item 'name1;name2;..;namen' 
        plot the variables with names na1 .. namen against time
@item 'name1:name2'
                plot the variable with  name2 against that with name 1
@end ftable    

An example of plotting a single variable against time is:
@example
mtt -o -c -ss OttoCycle odeso ps 'OttoCycle_cycle_V'
@end example
An example of plotting one variable against another is:
@example
mtt -o -c -ss OttoCycle odeso ps 'OttoCycle_cycle_V:OttoCycle_cycle_P'

The plot format is controlled by the file @emph{sys_gnuplot.txt}. A default version
of this file, which will cause gnuplot to plot the time-history of each state
and each output individually, may be created with the command

@example
mtt rc gnuplot txt

@chapter Sensitivity models
@cindex Sensitivity models
@pindex Sensitivity models

The sensitivity model of a system is a set of equations giving the
sensitivity of the system outputs with respect to system parameters.
@strong{MTT} has built in methods for assisting with the development of
such models.

This feature is experimental at the moment, but the following example
gives an idea of what can be achieved.
@example
mtt copy rc
cd rc
mtt -s src ode view
mtt -s src odeso view
@end example
The sensitivity system src is automatically created from the system rc
using the predefined sR and sC components together with vector junctions
(@pxref{Vector components}).  The four outputs are the two system
outputs plus the two sensitivity functions.

An alternative route is to create the sensitivity functions by symbolic
differentiation.
The following sensitivity representations are available:
@ftable @code
@item   scse
        sensitivity constrained-state equations
@item   sm
        sensitivity state matrices

As discussed in @ref{What is a Representation?}, a system has many
representations. The purpose of @strong{MTT} is to provide an easy way to
generate such representation by applying the appropriate sequence of 
transformations. The representations supported by @strong{MTT} are
summarised in @ref{Representation summary}.

There is a two-fold division of representations into those with which the user
defines the system and its various attributes, and those which are
derived from these. The @emph{defining representations} are listed in
@ref{Defining representations}. 

Each representation is implemented in one or more languages depending on
its use. These languages are discussed in @ref{Languages} and are
associated with appropriate tools for modifying or viewing the
representations.

@pindex bonds

Bonds are represented by polylines with two segments. They must be the
default style (i.e. plain not dashed or dotted). The shortest segment is
taken to be the half-arrow. its positioning is significant because:
@itemize @bullet
@item
It points in the direction of power flow; thus a bond normally points
towards C, I and R components.
@item
the corresponding side of the bond indicates flow causality; the other
side represents effort causality. This is significant when using casual
half-strokes (@pxref{strokes}). Please adopt the convention of having
the half-arrows below horizontal bonds and to the right of vertical bonds.
@end itemize

@node strokes, components, bonds, Language fig (abg.fig)
@subsubsection Strokes
@cindex strokes
@pindex strokes

Causal strokes are represented by single-segment polylines.
There are two sorts of strokes:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@emph{Full} strokes: these are the usual bond-graph strokes and determine
both the effort and flow causality in the usual way. The @emph{centre} of the
stroke should be at about one end of the bond and be at right angles to
it.
@item
@emph{Half} strokes: these are an innovation in @strong{MTT} and allow you to
specify the effort and flow causality independently. The @emph{end} of the
stroke should be at about one end of the bond and be at right angles to
it. If the causal half-stroke is on the @emph{same} side as the half-arrow
(@pxref{bonds}) then it determines @emph{flow} causality; if, on the other
hand, it is on the @emph{opposite} side to the half-arrow
(@pxref{bonds}) then it determines @emph{effort} causality.
Two half strokes on the @emph{same}, but on @emph{opposite} sides of the
bond are equivalent to a a full stroke at the same end of the bond.
@end itemize

@strong{MTT} is reasonably forgiving; but a neat diagram will be less ambiguous to
you as well as to @strong{MTT}.

Causality is indicated as follows:
@itemize @bullet
@item 
@emph{Effort} is imposed at the @emph{same} end as the stroke.
@item 
@emph{Flow} is imposed at the @emph{opposite} end as the stroke.

Components are represented by a text string in fig.  The recommended
style is: 20pt, Times-Roman and centre justified.

The component text string can be of the following forms:
@ftable @code
@item type
Just the type of the component is indicated. Components may be either
Simple components (@pxref{Simple components}) or Compound components
(@pxref{Compound components}).  For example:
@example
R
@end example
@item type:label
Both the type and the label of the component are given. The type must be
a valid name (@pxref{Valid names}.The name provides a link to more
information to be found in @xref{Labels (lbl)}. For example:
@example
R:r
@end example
@item type:label:cr
Not only are the type and the label of the component given, but also the
component cr argument. The type must be
a valid name (@pxref{Valid names}.The name provides a link to more
information to be found in @xref{Labels (lbl)}. For example:
@example
R:r:flow,r
@end example
@item type:label:expression
Expression is a mathematical expression relating the effort (called
mtt_e) to the flow (called mtt_f).
For example the following three forms are equivalent
@example
R:r:mtt_e=r*mtt_f
R:r:mtt_e-r*mtt_f=0
R:r:mtt_f=mtt_e/r
@end example
A non-linear example is:
@example
R:r:mtt_e = sin(mtt_f)
@end example

@item type*n
The name, together with the number @samp{n} of repetitions of the
component, are given. This repetition only makes sense if the component
has an even number of ports (@pxref{Port labels}); n copies of the component
are concatenated with odd Named ports (@pxref{Port labels}) of the
component being connected to the even Named ports of the previous
component in the chain in numerical order.  This feature is particularly
useful if the component is compound and can be used for, example to give
a lumped approximation of a distributed system. For example:
@example

Each such named SS provides one of the ports

The direction of the named SS components.

Named SS components (@pxref{Named SS components}) provide the mechanism
for declaring the ports (@pxref{Ports}) of a component. The
corresponding bond has a direction. However, under some circumstances,
it may be useful to reverse this direction. @strong{MTT} provides a
coercion mechanism for this: the the direction of the bond attached to
the named SS component (@pxref{Named SS components}) is replaced by the
direction of the bond attached to the component port.

@subsubsection Port labels
@cindex ports
@pindex ports
Most multi-port components have ports 
@pxref{Ports})which display different
behaviors; the exception to this is the junction (@code{0} and @code{1})
components. For this reason, @strong{MTT} provides a method for unambiguously
identifying the ports of a multi-port component by port labels.

A port label is indicated by a name within parentheses of the form
@code{[name]}, where `name' is a name consisting of alphanumeric
characters and underscore; for example:
@example
[Mechanical_1]
@end example
This provides a label for corresponding to the component to which the
nearest bond-end is attached.

The following rules must be be obeyed:
@itemize @bullet
@item
If a component has any port labels at all, there must be one for each
port of the component.
@c @item
@c If a component is to be used repetitively (see @ref{components}), it
@c must have an even number of ports and the odd ports are connected to the
@c even points within the chain of components.
@end itemize

Port labels may be grouped into vector port labels (@pxref{Vector port
labels}). Components with compatible (ie containing the same number of ports)
vector ports may be connected by a @emph{single} bond
(@pxref{Bonds}); such a bond implies the corresponding number of bonds
(one for each element of the vector port label). All such bonds inherit
the same direction and any @emph{explicit} causal strokes (@pxref{strokes})

@cindex Port label defaults
@pindex Port label defaults
Whether impicitly or explicity, all ports of components (with the
exception of 0 and 1 junctions) must have lables  (@pxref{Port
labels}). However, these can be omitted from the bond graph in the
following circumstances and default labels are supplied by @strong{MTT}.
@enumerate
@item A single unlabled inport defaults to [in]
@item A single unlabled outport defaults to [out]
@end enumerate

These defaults may, in turn be aliases (@pxref{Aliases}) for port labels
(@pxref{Port labels}) or vector port labels (@pxref{Vector port
labels}).  Combining the default and alias mechanism is a powerful tool
for creating uncluttered, yet complex, bond graph models.

@node Vector components, artwork, Port label defaults, Language fig (abg.fig)
@subsubsection Vector Components
@cindex Vector components
@pindex Vector components
Vectors of components can be created in four cases:
@code{0} junctions,
@code{1} junctions,
@code{SS} components and
@code{SS} port components.


In each case, the presence of a vector component is indicated by a
single port label  (@pxref{Port labels}) of one of two forms:
@enumerate
@item containing numerals from 1 to
the order of the vector. Thus a vector of 3 components is indicated by a
port label of the form [1,2,3].
@item  1: followed by
the order of the vector. Thus a vector of 3 components is indicated by a
port label of the form [1:3].
@end enumerate


Within the corresponding label file (@pxref{Labels (lbl)}), the
components of a vector port can be accessed using _i where i is the
corresponding index. Thus a port SS:[Electrical] appearing near the port
label  [1,2,3] could contain the port alias (@pxref{Port aliases})
@example
%ALIAS  in Electrical_1,Electrical_2,Electrical_3
@end example

@node artwork, Valid names, Vector components, Language fig (abg.fig)
@subsubsection Artwork
@cindex artwork
@pindex artwork
You are encouraged to annotate your bond graphs extensively - this makes
them an immediately readable document whilst retaining the precise and
unambiguous expressive power of the bond graph.

You may add any Fig (@pxref{Fig}) object to the bond graph as long as it
will not be interpreted as part of the bond graph.  
The reccommended way to acheive this is to put the  Bond Graph at depth
0,10,20 etc (ie depth modulo 10 is zero) and artwork at any other depth. 
@c  The recommended way to do this is to @emph{put all artwork at or below
@c  Depth 1} in the figure. @strong{MTT} ignores all objects not at depth 0.


For compatibility with earlier versions of @strong{MTT}, the following
objects are ignored even at level 0. However, their use is strongly
discouraged.
@itemize @bullet
@item
Adding text is OK as long as it cannot be confused with components
(@pxref{components}). In particular, you can include invalid component
characters such as white space, @code{"}, @code{'}, @code{!} etc.
@item
Adding boxes, arcs etc is always OK.
@item
Adding dotted or dashes lines is always OK.
@end itemize

The stripped abg file (sabg) (@pxref{Stripped acausal bond graph
(sabg)})
shows only those parts of the diagram recognised by @strong{MTT} and is
therefore useful for distinguishing artwork.

Bond graph components have optional labels. These provide pointers to
further information relating to the component; this avoids clutter on
the bond graph.

The label file contains the following non-blank lines (blank lines are ignored)
@itemize @bullet
@item Summary - lines beginning with %SUMMARY
@item Description - lines beginning with %DESCRIPTION
@item Alias - lines beginning with %ALIAS
@item Comments - lines beginning with % 
@item Labels - other non-blank lines
@end itemize

Each lable contains three fields (in the following order) separated by
white space and on one line:
@enumerate
@item The component name @pxref{Component names}. This must be a valid
name  (@pxref{Valid names}.
@item The component constitutive relationship @pxref{Component constitutive relationship}
@item The component arguments @pxref{Component arguments}
@end enumerate

Not each component @pxref{components} needs a label, only those which are explicitly
labeled on the Bond Graph @pxref{Acausal bond graph (abg)}.
@strong{MTT} checks whether all  components labelled on the bond graph
have labels and vice versa.

If no lbl file exists, @strong{MTT} will create a valid one for you;
including a default set of arguments and crs for both simplae and
compound components.

If wish to create one to edit yourself, type
@example

In addition to the label there are two information fields, @pxref{Labels

fields of the form info_field_1,info_field_2.

These two information
fields correspond to the effort and flow variables of the of the SS components as follows
@vtable @code
@item info_field_1
        effort
@item info_field_2
        flow
@end vtable
Each of these two fields contains one of the following @emph{attributes}:
@vtable @code
@item external
        indicates that the corresponding variable is a system input or
output
@item internal
        indicates that the variable does not appear as a system output;
        it is an error to label an input in this way.
@item a number
        the value of the input; or the value of the (imposed) output
@item a symbol
        the symbolic value of the input; or the value of the (imposed) output
@item unknown
        used for the SS method of solving algebraic loops. This
        indicates that the corresponding system input (SS output) is to
        be chosen to set the corresponding system output (SS input) to zero.
@item zero
        used for the SS method of solving algebraic loops. This
        indicates that the corresponding system output (SS input) is to
        be set to zero using the variable indicted by the corresponding
        `unknown' label.

Some examples are:
@example
%% ss1 is both a source and sensor
ss1     SS              external,external

@subsection Interface Control Definition
@cindex ICD (label file directive)
It is sometimes useful to be able to automatically generate a set of 
assignments mapping @strong{MTT} inputs and outputs to an external interface
definition. This can be achieved with use of the @emph{#ICD} directive.

@example
#ICD    PressureSensor		PUMP1_PRESSURE_SENSOR,Pa;null,none
#ICD    Electrical		PUMP1_VOLTAGE,volt;PUMP1_CURRENT,amp

% Component type De
	PressureSensor	SS      external

% Component type SS
	Electrical	SS	external,external
@end example


The ICD directive consists of 3 whitespace delimited fields:

@enumerate
@item [%|#]ICD
@item component name
@item Four comma (,) or semi-colon (;) delimited fields:

@enumerate
@item name of effort parameter
@item unit of effort parameter
@item name of flow parameter
@item unit of flow parameter
@end enumerate
@end enumerate

If no parameter name is required, a value of "null" should be used.
If the parameter does not have any units, a value of "none" should be used.

ICD parameters may be aliased @pxref{Aliases} in the same way as normal
parameters, thus it is possible to define some or all of the ICD in higher
level components.

The command

@example
mtt sys ICD txt
@end example

will generate a text file containing a list of mappings:

@example
## Interface Control Definition for System sys
## sys_ICD.txt: Generated by MTT Thu Jul 12 21:21:21 CDT 2001

Input:  PUMP1_VOLTAGE           sys_P1_1_Electrical      Causality: Effort   Units: volt
Output: PUMP1_CURRENT           sys_P1_1_Electrical      Causality: Flow     Units: amp
Output: PUMP1_PRESSURE_SENSOR   sys_P1_1_PressureSensor  Causality: Effort   Units: Pa
@end example

A set of assignments can be generated with the command
@example
mtt sys ICD m
@end example

resulting in:

@example
# Interface Control Definition mappings for system sys
# sys_ICD.m: Generated by MTT Thu Jul 12 21:26:56 CDT 2001

# Inputs

        mttu(1) = PUMP1_VOLTAGE;

Aliases provide a way of refering to (@pxref{Port labels}) or vector port labels (@pxref{Vector
port labels}) on the bond graph using a short-hand notation. With in a
component label file (@pxref{Labels (lbl)}) statements of the following
forms can occur 

@example
%ALIAS short_label       real_label
@end example

When the component is used within another component, the short_lable may
be used in place of the real_label.
More than one alias per label can be used, for example

@example
%ALIAS short_label_1       real_label
%ALIAS short_label_2       real_label
%ALIAS short_label_3       real_label
@end example

The port can then be refered to in four ways: as real_label,
short_label_1, short_label_2 or short_label_3.
An alternative notation for the ALIAS statement in this case is

@example
%ALIAS short_label_1|short_label_2|short_label_3       real_label
@end example

The alias feature is particularly powerful in conjunction with vector
port labels (@pxref{Vector port labels}) and the port label default 
(@pxref{Port label defaults}) mechanisms. For example, a component with
5 ports appearing in the lbl file as:

@example
        [Hydraulic_in]  external        external
        [Hydraulic_out] external        external
        [Power_Shaft]           external        external
        [Thermal_in]    external        external
        [Thermal_out]   external        external
@end example

together with the following statements in the label file:

@example
%ALIAS  in              Thermal_in,Hyydraulic_in
%ALIAS  out             Thermal_out,Hydraulic_out
%ALIAS  shaft|power     Power_Shaft
@end example

can appear in the bond graph containing that component with one bond
labeled either [shaft] or [power] or [Power_Shaft], one unlabeled vector
bond pointing in and one unlabeled vector bond pointing out.

The two components `wPipe' and `Poly' are both to be found within the

@subsection Parameter passing
@cindex Parameter passing
@strong{MTT} supports parameter-passing to subsystems within label files
(@pxref{Labels (lbl)}). Within a subsystem, explicit constitutive
relationships and parameters (or groups thereof) can be replaced by
postitional parameters such as @code{$1}, @code{$2} etc.  Although this
can be done directly, it is recommended that this is done via the alias
mechanism (@pxref{Parameter aliases}).

In a subsystem
@code{$i}, is replaced by the ith field of a colon @code{;} separated
field in the calling label file. This field may include commas @code{,}
and the four arithmetic operators @code{+}, @code{-}, @code{*} and
@code{/}.

For example, consider the following example label file fragment (associated with a
component called Pump:
@example
...

%ALIAS  $1              c_v
%ALIAS  $2              density,ideal_gas,r
%ALIAS  $3              alpha
%ALIAS  $4              flow,k_p

%ALIAS  wPipe   CompressibleFlow/wPipe
%ALIAS  Poly    CompressibleFlow/Poly

% Component type wPipe
        pipe    none                    c_v;density,ideal_gas,r

% Component type Poly
        poly            Poly            alpha

@end example

The 4 parameters @code{$1}, @code{$2}, @code{$3}, and @code{$4} can be
passed from a higher level component as in the following label file
fragment:

@example
% Component type Pump
        comp            none            c_v;rho,ideal_gas,r;alpha;effort,k_c
        turb            none            c_v;rho,ideal_gas,r;alpha;effort,k_t
@end example

Thus in component `comp':
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{$1} is replaced by c_v
@item @code{$2} is replaced by rho,ideal_gas
@item @code{$3} is replaced by alpha
@item @code{$4} is replaced by effort,k_c
@end itemize
whereas in component `turb' the first three parameters are the same but
@itemize @bullet
@item @code{$4} is replaced by effort,k_t
@end itemize

@cindex Old-style labels
@cindex lbl

Old syle labels (mtt version 2.x) are supported by mtt version
3.x. However, you are advised to use the new form (@pxref{Labels
(lbl)}).

Each line of the @code{_label.txt} file is of one of three forms:
@enumerate
@item
Contains three fields (separated by white space) of the form
@example
label   field_1   field_2
@end example
@item
Blank
@item
Preceded by %
@end enumerate
Only the first is noticed by @strong{MTT}; the second and third are for
providing helpful commenting.

The role of the two information fields depends on the component with the
corresponding label. In particular the classes of components are:
@itemize @bullet
@item
SS components, @pxref{SS components}.
@item
Other components,  @pxref{components}.
@end itemize
Named SS component, @pxref{Named SS components} never have labels.

@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@subsubsection SS component labels (old-style)
@cindex SS component labels (old-style)
In addition to the label there are two information fields,
@pxref{Labels (lbl)}.
They correspond to the effort and flow of the components as follows
@vtable @code
@item info_field_1
        effort
@item info_field_2
        flow
@end vtable
Each of these two fields contains one of the following @emph{attributes}:
@vtable @code
@item
external
        indicates that the corresponding variable is a system input or
output
@item internal
        indicates that the variable does not appear as a system output;
        it is an error to label an input in this way.
@item a number
        the value of the input; or the value of the (imposed) output
@item a symbol
        the symbolic value of the input; or the value of the (imposed) output
@item unknown
        used for the SS method of solving algebraic loops. This
        indicates that the corresponding system input (SS output) is to
        be chosen to set the corresponding system output (SS input) to zero.
@item zero
        used for the SS method of solving algebraic loops. This
        indicates that the corresponding system output (SS input) is to
        be set to zero using the variable indicted by the corresponding
        `unknown' label.
@end vtable

Some examples are:
@example
%Label  field1          field2

You can write your own constitutive relationships using Reduce
(@pxref{Reduce}). This requires some understanding as to how
@strong{MTT} represent the elementary system equations
(@pxref{Elementary system equations}). Looking at the predefined
constitutive relationships is a good way to get started
(@pxref{File structure}).

@node Unresolved constitutive relationships, Unresolved constitutive relationships - Octave, DIY constitutive relationships, Constitutive Relationship (cr)

Consider the following CR file.

LET tktf2(rho,g,vol,h,topt,bott,effort,2,press,effort,1)
        = tank(rho,g,vol,h,topt,bott,press);      
@end example
Assuming that `tank' is not defined in a
reduce file, MTT will leave it unresolved when generating m or c code.

The resulting function can then be expressed as octave
(@pxref{Unresolved constitutive relationships - Octave}) or c++ code as
(@pxref{Unresolved constitutive relationships - c++}) appropriate.

@node Unresolved constitutive relationships - Octave, Unresolved constitutive relationships - c++, Unresolved constitutive relationships, Constitutive Relationship (cr)
@subsection  Unresolved constitutive relationships - Octave

Following the example of the previous section, the unresolved CR `tank'
can be expressed as an Octave m-file. For example:
@example
function p = tank (rho,g,vol,h,topt,bott,press)

  ## usage:  p = tank (vol,h,topt,bott,press)
  ##
  ## 

   val = press; zt = topt; zb = bott; 
   zval = 0.5*(abs(zb+(zt-zb)*val-h)+(zb+(zt-zb)*val-h));

   p = rho*g*zval + 0.5*(1+tanh((press-0.98)*500))*100000;

endfunction
@end example
This will be automatically loaded into octave.

@subsection  Unresolved constitutive relationships - c++
@cindex Unresolved constitutive relationships - Octave
Following the example of the previous section, the unresolved CR `tank'
can be expressed in c++ code. For example:
@example
inline double tank(const double rho, 
		   const double g, 
		   const double vol, 
		   const double h, 
		   const double topt, 
		   const double bott, 
		   const double press)


  /*  ## usage:  p = tank (vol,h,topt,bott,press)
    ##
    ##
  */
  double p, val, zval, zt, zb;

  val = press;
  zt = topt;
  zb = bott;
  zval = 0.5 * (abs(zb + (zt - zb) * val - h) + zb + (zt - zb) * val - h);

  p = rho * g * zval + 0.5 * (1 + tanh((press - 0.98) * 500)) * 100000L;

  return p;

must be as follows:

The causal bond graph of system `sys' is represented as
 an m file with heading:
@example
function [cbonds,status] = sys_cbg
@end example
The two outputs of this function are:
@itemize @bullet
@item
cbonds
@item
status
@end itemize

@emph{cbonds} is  a matrix with
@itemize @bullet
@item
one row for each bond
@item
the first column contains the arrow-orientated 
(@pxref{Arrow-orientated causality}) 
causality of the @emph{effort} variable.
@item
the second column contains the arrow-orientated 
(@pxref{Arrow-orientated causality}) 
causality of the @emph{flow} variable.
@end itemize

@emph{status} is  a matrix with
@itemize @bullet
@item
one row for each component
@item
the first column contains 1 if the component is overcausal; 0 if the
component is causally complete and -1 if the component is undercausal.
@end itemize
A successful model would therefore have all zeros in the status matrix.

@subsubsection Transformation abg2cbg_m
@cindex Transformation abg2cbg_m

This transformation takes the acausal bond graph as an m file 
(@pxref{Language m (abg.m)}) and transforms it into a causal bond graph in
m-file format (@pxref{Language m (cbg.m)}).

It is based on the m-function abg2cbg.m which iteratively tries to
complete causality whilst recursively searching the bond graph
structure.
If causality is incomplete, it picks the first acausal dynamic (C or I)
component, asserts integral causality, and tries again.

This is essentially the sequential causality assignment procedure of
Karnopp and Rosenberg.

The transformation informs the user of the final status in terms of the
percentage of causally complete components; a successful model will
yield 100% here.

@node Elementary system equations, Differential-Algebraic Equations, Causal bond graph (cbg), Representations
@comment  node-name,  next,  previous,  up
@section Elementary system equations (ese)
@cindex Elementary system equations

The elementary system equations are a complete set of assignment statements
describing the dynamic system corresponding to the bond graph.
They are in the Reduce (@pxref{Reduce}) language.

Because these are based on a causally complete system, these assignment
statements are directly soluble by substitution.

Unlike early versions of @strong{MTT}, @strong{MTT} does @emph{not} sort
the equations in order of solution, but rather leaves them sorted by
component and subsystem.

These are not supposed to be read by the user, so there is no view
facility as such. However, you may read these with your favourite text
editor and, to this end,  helpful comment lines have been added.

Wherever components have an explicit constitutive relationship, the
corresponding RHS of the equation has a standard form.

@example
cr(arguments,out_causality,outport,
        input_1, causality_1, port_1,
        ....
        input_i, causality_i, port_i,
        ....
        input_n, causality_n, port_n
        );
@end example
where the symbols have the following meaning
@vtable @code
@item arguments
        the constitutive relationship arguments
@item out_causality
        the causality (effort or flow) of the output variable
        (@pxref{Variables})
@item outport
        the number (integer) of the output port of the system
@item input_i
        the ith input to the component
@item causality_i
        the causality (effort or flow) of the ith input variable
        (@pxref{Variables})
@item port_i
        the number (integer) of the ith input port of the system
@end vtable

An example for a resistor with linear constitutive relationship is:
@example
rc_1_bond4_flow := lin(flow,r,flow,1,
        rc_1_bond4_effort,effort,1
        );

@cindex Structure
@cindex def.r
This transformation takes the causal bond graph as an m file

equations

It is based on the m-function cbg2ese.m which iteratively traverses the

It also writes out the system structure as the file @file{sys_def.r}.

function [A,B,C,D,E] = sys_dm
@end example

System numeric parameters (@pxref{Numeric parameters})
are passed via global variables defined in the _numpar.m file.
@c (@pxref{numpar.m}). 
Thus the system descriptor matrices are
typically generated in Octave (@pxref{Octave}) as follows:

@example
sys_numpar
[A,B,C,D,E] = sys_dm
@end example

Parameters can be changed from their default values by entering
their values directly into Octave (@pxref{Octave})  and then invoking
@code{sys_dm}; for example
@example
sys_numpar
par_1 = 25
par_2 = par_1 + 3
[A,B,C,D,E] = sys_dm
@end example

@strong{MTT} has a report-generator feature. The user specifies the
report contents in a text file (@pxref{Report (text)}) using an
appropriate text editor (@pxref{Text editors}).

For example, the report can be viewed by typing
@example
mtt system rep view
@end example


@menu
* Report (text)::               
* Report (view)::               
@end menu

@node Report (text), Report (view), Report, Report
@subsection Language text (rep.txt)
@cindex Report (text)
@cindex rep.txt 

The user specifies the report contents in a text file (@pxref{Report
(text)}) using an appropriate text editor (@pxref{Text editors}).
The text file contains lines which are either comments (indicated by %)
or valid @strong{MTT} commands. The report will then contain appropriate
sections. The following languages are supported by the report generator:
@ftable @code
@item m
        @code{octave} a high-level interactive language for numerical
        computation.
@item r
        @code{reduce}  a high-level interactive language for symbolic
        computation.
@item tex
        @code{latex} a text processor.
@item ps
        @code{ghostview} another document viewer.
@item c
        @code{gcc} a c compiler.
@end ftable
For example:
@example
mtt rc abg tex
mtt rc cbg ps
mtt rc struc tex
mtt rc ode tex
mtt rc sro ps
mtt rc tf tex
mtt rc lmfr ps
@end example

The acausal bond graph (abg) (@pxref{Acausal bond graph (abg)}) with the
tex language is handled in a special way: the acausal Bond Graph  in
fig format (@pxref{Language fig (abg.fig)}), the label file (@pxref{Labels (lbl)})
the description file (@pxref{Description (desc)}), together with
corresponding subsystems are included in the report. It is recommended
that the first (non-comment line) in the file should be:
@example
mtt <system> abg tex
@end example
where @code{<system>} is the name of the (top-level) system.

As usual, @strong{MTT} provides a default text file to be edited by the
user (@pxref{Text editors}).

In the special case that the first argument to mtt (normally the system)
is a directory, a default text file is provided which generates a report
for all systems to be found in that directory tree.

@strong{MTT} has a number of built-in mechanisms for the user to extend
its capabilities. As @strong{MTT} is based on `Make' it is unsurprising
that some of these  involve the creation of `make files'.

@section Makefiles
@cindex Makefiles

If a file called `Makefile' exists in the current directory,
@strong{MTT} executes it using make before doing anything else. This is
useful if one of the .txt files contains a reference to, for example, an
octave function of which @strong{MTT} unaware. Such a function can be
created using the makefile. An example `Makefile' is
@example
# Makefile for the Two link GMV example

all: msdP_tf.m TwoLinkP_obs.m TwoLinkP_sm.m twolinkp_sm.m TwoLinkGMV_numpar.m 

msdP_tf.m: msdP_abg.fig 
        mtt -q msdP tf m

TwoLinkP_obs.m: TwoLinkP_abg.fig TwoLinkP_lbl.txt
        mtt -q TwoLinkP obs m

TwoLinkP_sm.m: TwoLinkP_abg.fig TwoLinkP_lbl.txt

@end example
All of the files in the line stating `all:' are created when
@strong{MTT} is executed (if they don't already exist).

@node New representations, Component library , Makefiles, Extending MTT

@section New representations
@cindex New representations

It may be convenient to create new representations for @strong{MTT}; in
particular, it is nice to be able to include the result of some
numerical or symbolic computations within an @strong{MTT} report
(@pxref{Report}).

To create a new representation `myrep' in a language `mylang', create a
file with the name
@example
myrep_rep.make
@end example
This file must contain text in `make' syntax. It is executed by
@strong{MTT} and the two arguments `SYS' (the system name) and `LANG'
(the language) are passed to it by @strong{MTT}. Note that @strong{MTT}
cannot know of any prerequisites, but these can be explicitly included in
the makefile (which may include execution of @strong{MTT} itself.

The following example declares the new representation `nppp' which is
created with the Octave script sys_nppp.m where `sys' is the system
name.  This needs a number of files (for exaample `sys_ode2odes.out')
which are themselves created by @strong{MTT}.
@example
# -*-makefile-*-
# Makefile for representation nppp
# File nppp_rep.make

#Copyright (C) 2000 by Peter J. Gawthrop

all: $(SYS)_nppp.$(LANG)

If @strong{MTT} does not recognise a component (eg named MyComponent) as
a simple component (@pxref{Simple components}) or as already existing,
it searches the library search path $MTT_COMPONENTS
(@pxref{$MTT_COMPONENTS}) for a directory called MyComponent containing
MyComponent_lbl.txt. It then copies the @emph{entire} directory into the
current working directory. Thus, for example, the directory could
contain MyComponent_desc.tex MyComponent_abg.fig MyComponent_lbl.txt and MyComponent_cr.r in
addition to MyComponent_lbl.txt.

manipulate and/or view the representation.

@ftable @code

        @code{octave} a high-level interactive language for numerical
        computation.

All representations live in text files and thus may be edited using your
favourite text editor; however, the Fig (@pxref{Fig}) representation is
pretty meaningless in this form and so you should use Xfig
(@pxref{Xfig}) for representation in this language.

Its up to you which text editor to use. I recommend emacs, but simpler
(and less powerful) editors such as xedit, textedit and vi are also ok.

I usually run @strong{MTT} out of an emacs shell window and keep the
rest of the files in emacs buffers.

Octave is a numerical matrix-based language @xref{Top,
,Octave,Octave,Octave}.  It is similar to Matlab in many ways. In most
cases, m-files generated by @strong{MTT} can be understood by both
Matlab and Octave (and no doubt other Matlab lookalikes).

 @strong{MTT} provides the octave function @code{mtt}. The octave
 command
@example
help mtt
@end example
gives the following information:
@example
 usage:  mtt (system[,representation,language])

 Invokes mtt from octave to generate system_representation.language
 Ie equivalent to "mtt system representation language" at the shell
 Representation and language defualt to "sm" and "m" respectively

@end example

Thus for example, if octave is in the directory containing the system
rc the following session generates the state matrices of the system "rc"
with the defaut capacitance but resitance r=0.1.
