Modelica 3.4 Grammar

Modelica 3.4 Grammar

This is the grammar of Modelica 3.4 in EBNF form. Each non-terminal appearing on the right hand side of a production is a link to the production for that non-terminal. This grammar is identical to that in the Modelica 3.4 specification except for removal of some unnecessary parentheses, grouping of some common terms, and reformatting for easier readability. The following typographic conventions are used:

  • Keywords are set in boldface.
  • Literals other than keywords are "quoted-monospaced" text.
  • Non-terminals are set in italics, with blue italics used for links.
  • EBNF meta-characters are green.
