Physiological units with nominals

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Package (Icon for standard packages).

Information

The main problem of medical research, articles, and experiments is using obscure units from medicine, pharmacology, biology and non-physics disciplines. The Physiolibrary fulfills the Modelica ideal of using SI units as the main unit for each variable, and the previously described physiological units are also implemented as the displayUnits for each variable. Using these displayUnits the user sets and sees the "physiological" values. The implementation can also be joined to any unit-correct Modelica models and physical equations without crashing due to unit incompatibilities. The unit support of Physiolibrary is so strong that you even can chose the right unit-typed “input real”/”output real” from the library package Types.RealIO. As can be expected, only the non-specific packages States and Blocks in the Physiolibrary have variables without units.
