String parameters supported

In Dymola 2015 string parameters are supported in FMUs. For the FMU export to support

string parameters, the following flag must be set:

Advanced.AllowStringParameters=true

The flag is by default false.

(String variables are however presently not supported.)

Example

String parameter support can be illustrated by a simple example of changing tables for an

FMU; consider creating a simple model for linearization.

Create a model; drag an instance of

Modelica.Blocks.Tables.CombiTable2D into the

model. Connect the two inputs and the output and create the corresponding connectors. The

result is:

In the parameter dialog of combiTable2D, select

tableOnFile to true, and propagate

tableName and fileName. Give relevant default values for them. As an example, looking at

the resulting Modelica code when having specified a table name and file name as default

value, we find:

Saving the model, and then generating an FMU from it (do not forget to set the flag above),

we can import this FMU and look at the resulting parameter dialog of an instance of that
