Compatibility with Openmodelica

[fcuevas....@gmail.com]

Hi,

this looks like a really good library! I'm trying to use it with Openmodelica. I've run the examples but I got errors in all of them.

Before digging in the details of the errors... is this library compatible with Openmodelica?

Danke!

Felipe

Hi Felipe,
this is definetly something we are also interested in, but we are not there yet.
OpenModelica is running nightly tests with a couple of libraries:
http://libraries.openmodelica.org/branches/overview.html
and they also include the BuildingSystems library:
http://libraries.openmodelica.org/branches/master/BuildingSystems/BuildingSystems.html

OpenModelica has some tips on writing complinat libraries that we try to follow:
https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/wiki/WritingCompliantLibraries
Plus, we try to reduce the number of warnings/erros in pedantic mode code checking in Dymola.
If you find any issue or, even better, a solution for a non-working model, feel free to submit a Pull Request!

If you are just beginning to look at libraries, you should also read this announcement:
http://www.iea-annex60.org/news.html#modelica-annex-60-library-released
and this conference paper:
http://www.iea-annex60.org/downloads/p2414.pdf
And, if you know German, of course the latest BuildingSystems paper:

Hi Matthis,

thanks for the response and information. I'll check the documents. I'm just beginning with Openmodelica.

I tested other examples (unit tests) and some of them work fine. Next post will include more details!

Best regards,

Felipe

Hi Felipe,

the second link from my answer should show a full list of all examples that are directly executable and the current status in Openmodelica:
http://libraries.openmodelica.org/branches/master/BuildingSystems/BuildingSystems.html

If the "Simulate" column is green, the listed example simulates in OpenModelica.

Best regards,

Matthis
