OMEdit – OpenModelica Connection Editor¶

OMEdit – OpenModelica Connection Editor is the new Graphical User Interface for graphical model editing in OpenModelica. It is implemented in C++ using the Qt 4.8 graphical user interface library and supports the Modelica Standard Library version 3.1 that is included in the latest OpenModelica installation. This chapter gives a brief introduction to OMEdit and also demonstrates how to create a DCMotor model using the editor.

OMEdit provides several user friendly features for creating, browsing, editing, and simulating models:

Modeling – Easy model creation for Modelica models.
Pre-defined models – Browsing the Modelica Standard library to

access the provided models.
User defined models – Users can create their own models for

immediate usage and later reuse.
Component interfaces – Smart connection editing for drawing and

editing connections between model interfaces.
Simulation – Subsystem for running simulations and specifying

simulation parameters start and stop time, etc.
Plotting – Interface to plot variables from simulated models.

Starting OMEdit¶

A splash screen similar to the one shown in Figure 5 will appear indicating that it is starting OMEdit. The executable is found in different places depending on the platform (see below).

Plotting the Simulation Results¶

Successful simulation of model produces the result file which contains the instance variables that are candidate for plotting. Variables Browser will show the list of such instance variables. Each variable has a checkbox, checking it will plot the variable. See Figure 12.

Types of Plotting¶

The plotting type depends on the active Plot Window. By default the plotting type is Time Plot.

Time Plot¶

Plots the variable over the simulation time. You can have multiple Time Plot windows by clicking on New Plot Window toolbar button ().

Plot Parametric¶

Draws a two-dimensional parametric diagram, between variables x and y, with y as a function of x. You can have multiple Plot Parametric windows by clicking on the New Plot Parametric toolbar button ().

Re-simulating a Model¶

The Variables Browser allows manipulation of changeable parameters for re-simulation. After changing the parameter values user can click on the re-simulate toolbar button (), or right click the model in Variables Browser and choose re-simulate from the menu.

3D Visualization¶

Since OpenModelica 1.11 , OMEdit has built-in 3D visualization, which replaces third-party libraries (such as Modelica3D) for 3D visualization.

The 3D visualization is based on OpenSceneGraph. In order to run the visualization simply right click the class in Libraries Browser an choose “Simulate with Animation” as shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14 OMEdit Simulate with Animation.

One can also run the visualization via Simulation > Simulate with Animation from the menu.

When simulating a model in animation mode, the flag +d=visxml is set. Hence, the compiler will generate a scene description file _visual.xml which stores all information on the multibody shapes. This scene description references all variables which are needed for the animation of the multibody system. When simulating with +d=visxml, the compiler will always generate results for these variables.

After the successful simulation of the model, the visualization window will show up automatically as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15 OMEdit 3D Visualization.

The animation starts with pushing the play button. The animation is played until stopTime or until the pause button is pushed. By pushing the previous button, the animation jumps to the initial point of time. Points of time can be selected by moving the time slider or by inserting a simulation time in the Time-box. The speed factor of animation in relation to realtime can be set in the Speed-dialog. Other animations can be openend by using the open file button and selecting a result file with a corresping scene description file.

The 3D camera view can be manipulated as follows:

Operation	Key	Mouse Action
Move Closer/Further	none	Wheel
Move Closer/Further	Right Mouse Hold	Up/Down
Move Up/Down/Left/Right	Middle Mouse Hold	Move Mouse
Move Up/Down/Left/Right	Left and Right Mouse Hold	Move Mouse
Rotate	Left Mouse Hold	Move Mouse

Predefined views (normal to x-y, y-z, x-z) can be selected, as well.

How to Create User Defined Shapes – Icons¶

Users can create shapes of their own by using the shape creation tools available in OMEdit.

Line Tool – Draws a line. A line is created with a minimum of two

points. In order to create a line, the user first selects the line tool from the toolbar and then click on the Icon/Diagram View; this will start creating a line. If a user clicks again on the Icon/Diagram View a new line point is created. In order to finish the line creation, user has to double click on the Icon/Diagram View.
Polygon Tool – Draws a polygon. A polygon is created in a similar

fashion as a line is created. The only difference between a line and a polygon is that, if a polygon contains two points it will look like a line and if a polygon contains more than two points it will become a closed polygon shape.
Rectangle Tool – Draws a rectangle. The rectangle only contains two

points where first point indicates the starting point and the second point indicates the ending the point. In order to create rectangle, the user has to select the rectangle tool from the toolbar and then click on the Icon/Diagram View, this click will become the first point of rectangle. In order to finish the rectangle creation, the user has to click again on the Icon/Diagram View where he/she wants to finish the rectangle. The second click will become the second point of rectangle.
Ellipse Tool – Draws an ellipse. The ellipse is created in a

similar way as a rectangle is created.
Text Tool – Draws a text label.
Bitmap Tool – Draws a bitmap container.

The shape tools are located in the toolbar. See Figure 16.

Figure 16 User defined shapes.

The user can select any of the shape tools and start drawing on the Icon/Diagram View. The shapes created on the Diagram View of Model Widget are part of the diagram and the shapes created on the Icon View will become the icon representation of the model.

For example, if a user creates a model with name testModel and add a rectangle using the rectangle tool and a polygon using the polygon tool, in the Icon View of the model. The model’s Modelica Text will appear as follows:

model testModel
  annotation(Icon(graphics = {Rectangle(rotation = 0, lineColor = {0,0,255}, fillColor = {0,0,255}, pattern = LinePattern.Solid, fillPattern = FillPattern.None, lineThickness = 0.25, extent = {{ -64.5,88},{63, -22.5}}),Polygon(points = {{ -47.5, -29.5},{52.5, -29.5},{4.5, -86},{ -47.5, -29.5}}, rotation = 0, lineColor = {0,0,255}, fillColor = {0,0,255}, pattern = LinePattern.Solid, fillPattern = FillPattern.None, lineThickness = 0.25)}));
end testModel;

In the above code snippet of testModel, the rectangle and a polygon are added to the icon annotation of the model. Similarly, any user defined shape drawn on a Diagram View of the model will be added to the diagram annotation of the model.

Global head section in documentation¶

If you want to use same styles or same JavaScript for the classes contained inside a package then you can define __OpenModelica_infoHeader annotation inside the Documentation annotation of a package. For example,

package P
  model M
    annotation(Documentation(info="<html>
      <a href=\"javascript:HelloWorld()\">Click here</a>
    </html>"));
  end M;
 annotation(Documentation(__OpenModelica_infoHeader="
     <script type=\"text/javascript\">
       function HelloWorld() {
         alert(\"Hello World!\");
       }
     </script>"));
end P;

In the above example model M does not need to define the javascript function HelloWorld. It is only defined once at the package level using the __OpenModelica_infoHeader and then all classes contained in the package can use it.

In addition styles and JavaScript can be added from file locations using Modelica URIs. Example:

package P
  model M
    annotation(Documentation(info="<html>
      <a href=\"javascript:HelloWorld()\">Click here</a>
    </html>"));
  end M;
 annotation(Documentation(__OpenModelica_infoHeader="
     <script type=\"text/javascript\">
        src=\"modelica://P/Resources/hello.js\">
       }
     </script>"));
end P;

Where the file Resources/hello.js then contains:

function HelloWorld() {
  alert("Hello World!");
}

Editing Modelica Standard Library¶

By default OMEdit loads the Modelica Standard Library (MSL) as a system library. System libraries are read-only. If you want to edit MSL you need to load it as user library instead of system library. We don't recommend editing MSL but if you really need to and understand the consequences then follow these steps,

Go to Tools->Options->Libraries.
Remove Modelica & ModelicaReference from list of system libraries.
Uncheck force loading of Modelica Standard Library.
Add $OPENMODELICAHOME/lib/omlibrary/Modelica X.X/package.mo under user libraries.
Restart OMEdit.
