BondGraphs.jl: Composable energy-based modelling in systems biology

Abstract

SummaryBondGraphs.jl is a Julia implementation of bond graphs. Bond graphs provide a modelling framework that describes energy flow through a physical system and by construction enforce thermodynamic constraints. The framework is widely used in engineering and has recently been shown to be a powerful approach for modelling biology. Models are mutable, hierarchical, multi-scale, multi-physics, and BondGraphs.jl is compatible with the Julia modelling ecosystem.
