setLoggingLevel

Enables/Disables debug logging (logDebug and logTrace).

0 default, 1 default+debug, 2 default+debug+trace

setMaxLogFileSize

Sets maximum log file size in MB. If the file exceeds this limit, the logging will continue on stdout.

oms_setMaxLogFileSize(size)

setReal

Sets the value of a given real signal.

status = oms_setReal(cref, 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.

setRealInputDerivative

Sets the first order derivative of a real input signal.

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

status = oms_setRealInputDerivative(cref, value)

setResultFile

Set the result file of the simulation.

status = oms_setResultFile(cref, filename)
status = oms_setResultFile(cref, filename, bufferSize)

The creation of a result file is omitted if the filename is an empty string.

setSignalFilter

This function specifies the signal filter. The signal filter is used to determine which signals will eventually be exported to the result file.

status = oms_setSignalFilter(cref, regex)

The second argument, i.e. regex, is a regular expression (C++11). “.*” and “(.)*” can be used to hit all variables.

setSolver

Sets the solver method for the given system.

status = oms_setSolver(cref, solver)
solver Type Description
oms_solver_sc_explicit_euler sc-system Explicit euler with fixed step size
oms_solver_sc_cvode sc-system CVODE with adaptive stepsize
oms_solver_wc_ma wc-system default master algorithm with fixed step size

setTLMSocketData

Sets data for TLM socket communication.

setTolerance

Sets the tolerance for a given model or system.

status = oms_setTolerance(const char* cref, double tolerance)
status = 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.

Sets the step size parameters for methods with stepsize control.

status = oms_getVariableStepSize(cref, initialStepSize, minimumStepSize, maximumStepSize)

setWorkingDirectory

Set a new working directory.
