What is MIME type "text/x-modelica"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

text/x-modelica is a MIME type for files written in the Modelica language. It signals that the file is plain text containing modeling equations and simulation code.

This MIME type is used by files such as MO. Software tools that simulate engineering systems read these files to build virtual models.

• Used in simulation and system modeling software
• Helps engineers design and analyze multi-domain systems
• Supports modeling in mechanical, electrical, thermal, and other areas

Tools like OpenModelica use this MIME type to parse and simulate complex system behavior. It sets a clear standard for file content and guides editors and processors on how to handle the Modelica code.
