de.hftstuttgart.cityunits
Create Eclipse P2 repository with Ecore data type Quantity for units based on Indriya reference implementation of Units of Measurement Java specification (JSR 385) and some special units for urban simulation.
Also adds another Ecore data type TimeOfDay useful to model schedules and the like.
To install this feature in an Eclipse application add site https://transfer.hft-stuttgart.de/pages/neqmodplus/de.hft-stuttgart.cityunits/p2repo via Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software... and select City Units.
For an introduction on dealing with units in Java, see Baeldung: Introduction to javax.measure.
Find demos on how to define new dimensions and units, e.g. in the energy domain under github.com/unitsofmeasurement.

Some derived units of special interest for urban simulation like kW·h (encodes kWh) as measure of energy or m³/min as measure of flow rate.
| Symbol | Dimension |
|---|---|
| W·s | [L]²·[M]/[T]² |
| W·h | [L]²·[M]/[T]² |
| kW·h | [L]²·[M]/[T]² |
| MW·h | [L]²·[M]/[T]² |
| m³/min | [L]³/[T] VolumetricFlowRate |
| m³/h | [L]³/[T] VolumetricFlowRate |
| m³/s | [L]³/[T] VolumetricFlowRate |
| m³/d | [L]³/[T] VolumetricFlowRate |
| l/min | [L]³/[T] VolumetricFlowRate |
Some units of special interest for urban simulation introduced with this plug-in:
| Symbol | Dimension |
|---|---|
| W/m² | [M]/[T]³ Intensity |
| ppm | one |
| dB | one |
| gCO₂eq | [M] CarbonEmission |
| kgCO₂eq | [M] CarbonEmission |
| tonCO₂eq | [M] CarbonEmission |
| € | [$] |
| $ | [$] |
Note that monetary units have been added ad hoc to City Units to model costs, but may be abandoned in future.
