The Modelica language supports reusable components throughout the design process. Using the Functional Mock-up Interface, system model built by reusable components can be transferred to different platforms. This can be done in a straightforward manner and makes it possible for different engineering divisions to use the same Modelica models. In this thesis, it is displayed how a Modelica model of

The goal of condition-based maintenance (CBM) is to base the decisions whether or not to perform maintenance on information collected from the machine or component of interest. A condition-based maintenance tool should be able to diagnose if the component of interest is in a state of failure but the ultimate goal of a CBM tool is to be able to estimate time until failure, either in terms of remain
