Pause JModelica and Pass Incremental Inputs During Simulation

问题

Hi Modelica Community,

I would like to run two models in parallel in JModelica but I'm not sure how to pass variables between the models. One model is a python model and the other is an EnergyPlusToFMU model.

The examples in the JModelica documentation has the full simulation period inputs defined prior to the simulation of the model. I don't understand how one would configure a model that pauses for inputs, which is a key feature of FMUs and co-simulation.

Can someone provide me with an example or piece of code that shows how this could be implemented in JModelica?

Do I put the simulate command in a loop? If so, how do I handle warm up periods and initialization without losing data at prior timesteps?

Thank you for your time,

Justin

Late answer, but in case it is picked up by others...

You can indeed put the simulation into a loop, you just need to keep track of the state of your system, such that you can re-init it at every iteration. Consider the following example:

Ts = 100
x_k = x_0

for k in range(100):
    # Do whatever you need to get your input here
    u_k = ...

    FMU.reset()
    FMU.set(x_k.keys(), x_k.values())

    sim_res = FMU.simulate(
        start_time=k*Ts,
        final_time=(k+1)*Ts,
        input=u_k
    )

    x_k = get_state(sim_res)

Now, I have written a small function to grab the state, x_k, of the system:

# Get state names and their values at given index
def get_state(fmu, results, index):
    # Identify states as variables with a _start_ value
    identifier = "_start_"
    keys = fmu.get_model_variables(filter=identifier + "*").keys()
    # Now, loop through all states, get their value and put it in x
    x = {}
    for name in keys:
        x[name] = results[name[len(identifier):]][index]
    # Return state
    return x

This relies on setting "state_initial_equations": True compile option.
