            Abstract : 
Here, two software tools are presented that facilitate virtual lab implementation: Interactive and Rand Model Designer. Interactive is a free Modelica library that´s used in combination with the Dymola modeling environment. Rand Model Designer supports Model Vision Language, an object-oriented modeling language based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
