setReal

Sets the value of a given real signal.

oms_status_enu_t oms_setReal(const char* cref, double value);

This function can be called in different model states:

  • Before instantiation: setReal can be used to set start values or to define initial unknowns (e.g. parameters, states). The values are not immediately applied to the simulation unit, since it isn’t actually instantiated.
  • After instantiation and before initialization: Same as before instantiation, but the values are applied immediately to the simulation unit.
  • After initialization: Can be used to force external inputs, which might cause discrete changes of continuous signals.

This can only be used for CS-FMU real input signals.

oms_status_enu_t oms_setRealInputDerivative(const char* cref, double value);

Sets the tolerance for a given model or system.

oms_status_enu_t oms_setTolerance(const char* cref, double absoluteTolerance, double relativeTolerance);

Default values are 1e-4 for both relative and absolute tolerances.

A tolerance specified for a model is automatically applied to its root system, i.e. both calls do exactly the same:

oms_setTolerance("model", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);
oms_setTolerance("model.root", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);

Component, e.g. FMUs, pick up the tolerances from there system. That means it is not possible to define different tolerances for FMUs in the same system right now.

In a strongly coupled system (oms_system_sc), the relative tolerance is used for CVODE and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

In a weakly coupled system (oms_system_wc), both the relative and absolute tolerances are used for the adaptive step master algorithms and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.
