OpenModelica modelling Coulomb friction: Translation Error, post-optimization module findZeroCrossings (simulation) failed

Question

I\'m trying to simulate Coulomb friction in Modelica. The basic concept is to check if relative velocity speed between to surfaces is less than a constant and the external force

Answer 1

Actually, the model I have developed above for Columb friction is wrong. Thanks to this post I could find the correct version:

package friction1D

  final constant Real eps=1.e-15 "Biggest number such that 1.0 + eps = 1.0";

  function sgn
    input Real inputVar;
    output Real outputVar;
  algorithm
    if noEvent(inputVar < 0) then
     outputVar := -1;
    else
      outputVar := 1;
    end if;
  end sgn;

  function coulombFriction
    input Real relVel;
    input Real shearForce;
    input Real normalForce;
    input Real statfricco;
    input Real kinfricco;
    output Real fricForce;
  algorithm
      if noEvent(abs(relVel) < eps) and noEvent(abs(shearForce) < statfricco * normalForce) then
        fricForce := shearForce;
    else
      fricForce := kinfricco * normalForce * sgn(relVel);
    end if;
  end coulombFriction;

  model fricexample_1
    //parameters
    parameter Real kco = 0.3;
    parameter Real sco = 0.4;
    parameter Real nfo = 1.0;
    parameter Real mass = 1.0;

    Real sfo;
    Real ffo;
    Real x;
    Real v;

  initial equation
    x = 0;
    v = 0;

  algorithm
    sfo := 0.7 * sin(time);
    ffo := coulombFriction(relVel = v, shearForce = sfo, normalForce = nfo, statfricco = sco, kinfricco = kco);

  equation
    v = der(x);
    mass * der(v) = sfo - ffo;

  annotation(
      experiment(StartTime = 0, StopTime = 10, Tolerance = 1e-8, Interval = 0.02),
      __OpenModelica_simulationFlags(lv = "LOG_STATS", outputFormat = "mat", s = "dassl"));

  end fricexample_1;

end friction1D;
