I have a custom C++ interface for describing DAE systems that our solvers use. In looking at the Modelica Compiler, what is the recommended way to create a stub for any modelica model that implements that interface? I'm not interested in a CORBA server hosted by the OMC. I'd like to go through the parsing pipleline to create a flattened model with optimized and sorted equations which sit behind my DAE interface. Is the Code Generator in Open Modelica transparent enough for a new developer, not familiar with the codebase, to pick up, learn, and adapt to my needs?

Cheers,
DEK

Is my question regarding OpenModelica and the OMC posted in the wrong place or is there so little traffic on these boards that I should consider the community basically dead?

Hello DEK,

for questions regarding OpenModelica, there is a subforum "MathModelica / OpenModelica". In the case of your question I think the problem is that none of the readers know an answer...

I wouldn't say that the community is dead. As you can see there are only a few questions but these usually get answered pretty quickly - if someone knows an answer or has an idea.

Hi all,

OpenModelica compiler uses a language called MetaModelica for implementing the compiler.
Is a small functional language with a Modelica syntax. I wouldn't say is hard to get familiar
with it (but I'm doing this since 4-5 years now . The only problem is the complexity of the
compiler which makes it quite hard to do something very quickly.
If you are interested in learning there is a course on MetaModelica available here:
http://www.ida.liu.se/labs/pelab/modelica/...velopersCourse/

However, you can obtain an XML version of the DAE from OpenModelica.
This functionality is not yet documented as is rather new. It was implemented
by Filippo Donida: http://home.dei.polimi.it/donida/

You can build a script file such as model.mos with the contents:


Then you could just read this xml DAE in your program and use your C++ implementation to solve it.
