Hello,

I try to connect a Modelica Simulation with Dymola to my "DCS Simulator" by OPC.

In initial equation, I call my C function ConnectOPC().

But I don't found how or where call my function DisconnectOPC()?
I want to disconnect at the last cycle or better after the last cycle.

My final objective is to use option Real Time of Dymola, so I don't know how many time my simulation works.

Thanks for your idea.

Laurent

Hello Laurent,

you can detect the last step of your simulation by using terminal().

Using terminal() as condition of a when block, you can make actions at the end of a successful simulation.

Thanks it works,

For my information, somebody know difference between:
intial equation and when initial() then ... end when;

Hello Laurent,

I looked it up in literature a few days, cause there was a discussion about this in another thread. But I found two different descriptions about this matter.

In the book by Fritzson it's said that there is no difference between "initial equation" and "when initial". In both cases the equations are part of the initialization before simulation starts.

In the book by Tiller it's described that there is a difference (Chapter 13):

"initial equation" is evaluated before simulation starts, whereas "when initial" is evaluated when simulation just started. Using "when initial" means that there are two initialization problems to be solved. One before simulation starts and another when simulation just started.

Maybe someone else knows the "truth" about this.

at least in Dymola there is no difference between initial equation and when initial() block.

if there would be any difference (initial equation before start and when initial() at the begin of the simulation), the following model should work, but it does not



Removing one of both parts turns the model in a valid one...
