Hi Yann,

The Modelica code is generated from .uml files. The .uml file contains only the model and no diagrams.
The plugin used for Modelica code generation is "org.openmodelica.modelicaml.gen.modelica" (it is based on Acceleo 2.x). The one you mentioning (org.openmodelica.modelicaml.generate.modelica) is based on Acceleo 3.x and is still ongoing work.

So this means I would only have to generate .uml models from my own models, do you think such a thing would be doable without proving to be tedious ? Mostly, the problems that I am representing are quite simple, a few physical objects connected together with a few specific values in their attributes, nothing too fancy, so I probably don't need all the possibilities that ModelicaML might provide. I have absolutely no experience with Acceleo so I don't really know where to start. Please tell me there's simply a class in which you call a "transform" method on a file and the rest is taken care of by the application
Also, is there a place where I could download .uml samples to see the general aspect of the models that ModelicaML uses and which concepts of UML are being used ?

Thanks,

Yann

Edit : I think I may have found the entrypoint in the org.openmodelica.modelicaml.gen.modelica.popupactions package, as for the uml samples, I'd still appreciate a few, but I will also try to create some directly through the application.

Modelica code is generated from  a .uml file that contains the UML model with ModelicaML stereotypes applied. See the ModelicaML profile description at http://www.ida.liu.se/labs/pelab/modeli … 1_3_2.html for UML concepts used.

You can look at: "/org.openmodelica.modelicaml.gen.modelica/src/org/openmodelica/modelicaml/gen/modelica/popupactions/GenerateModelicaCodeFromEntireModelicaMLModelAction.java" to see how the CG is invoked from Java code (e.g. the runchain() operation).

I can send you an example of a ModelicaML model ...

Thank you for your answer and for providing a model, it is really helpful.

I've been trying to create very simple models for experimenting and understanding the strings behind it all, but I'm having a few issues. Most of the problems I am modeling are as simple as the following code :

model example_floor_1

  inner Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.World world;

  Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Parts.Fixed fixed;

  MechanicalComponents.Floor floor;

  MechanicalComponents.Object obj1(r_0.start = {1, 0, 0}, each r_0.fixed = true);

  MechanicalComponents.FrictionForce friction1(force = extf1.f_world + obj1.gravity_force, floorinfo = floor.info,mu=1);

  MechanicalComponents.ExternalForce extf1(f_0 = {0.1, 0, 0});

equation

  connect(fixed.frame_b, floor.frame_start);

  connect(obj1.frame_a, extf1.frame_b);

  connect(friction1.frame_b, obj1.frame_a);

end example_floor_1;

I can easily create a model with variables of the corresponding types, however, when it comes to connecting them, I can't really find a way to do so.
If I'm using a predefined class such as MechanicalComponents.Object, do I still have to define connection ports for using frame_a and frame_b ? I may be missing something here, but shouldn't I be able to access these fields directly when defining my connections ?

Again, thank you for your help
