Open models from SystemModeler libraries in Mathematica 11.3?

Mathematica 11.3 includes some system modeling functionality. Is it possible to import models from the System Modeler libraries (System Modeler Modelica Libraries for Advanced Modeling) to use with that functionality – without having direct use of Wolfram System Modeler?

Hi!

With 11.3, this is indeed possible. Files downloaded from the library store have the format .sma (model library & model archive files) and can be imported using the Import function. Furthermore, files with the extension .mo (model files), .sma, .fmu (functional mock-up units ), and .sme (simulation files) can all be imported into the Wolfram Language without having direct use of Wolfram SystemModeler.

The documentation for each format provides a bit more context:

Since .mo files are textbased, written in the Modelica Language they can also be imported using the ImportString[data, “MO”] function.
