getComponents(model)

gives the list of elements.

getConnectionCount(model)

and

getNthConnection(model, index)

gives the connections.

Ok. Thank you for you reply. I didn't think combining getConnectionCount with getNthConnection(model, index) great idea, but with getComponnets(model) i got an issue and that is i need the components attributes, i already try with getElementsInfo(model) is usefull but got the same problem with not retrieving attributes. If you can help me with this, i really appreciate.

Thank you.

Use getComponentModifierNames(model, "component") https://build.openmodelica.org/Document … Names.html and then getComponentModifierValue(model, modifier) https://build.openmodelica.org/Document … Value.html

Ok thank you really appreciate your help was really useful.

Hi Adeel.

Thank you for your help the last time. I wonder if you can tell me if any command return the connection type or the connector type or the interface used for the connection. Also wonder if any command return an image in byte array or any image format like .jpg to store it.

Hope you can help me with that.

There isn't any command that returns connection or connector type. You could use getNthConnection(model, index) and then read the connector and check the type of the connector manually using is* like commands e.g., https://build.openmodelica.org/Document … Model.html

We don't have any command that returns image in any format.

What are you trying to achieve?

Adeel.

Im trying to return the model in a more structured way, so when i execute the command getNthConnection(dcmotor, 1) for example i get ("resistor1.n","inductor1.p"). I understand that ".n" and ".p" are interfaces but how i do get that interfaces and their type and how to know the connection between them and the connection type. Is there any way to do this.

Well there isn't any command to get this information straight away. You need to run several commands e.g.,

getComponents(dcmotor)
Gives you list of componets including resistor1 and its type i.e., Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Basic.Resistor. Now ask for its components Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Basic.Resistor

getComponents(Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Basic.Resistor)
In most cases the interface is a class component but you notice that n is not listed as class direct component so you need to read the inherited classes.

getInheritedClasses(Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Basic.Resistor)
{Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.OnePort,Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.ConditionalHeatPort}

Now read the components of inherited classes,

getComponents(Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.OnePort)
{{Modelica.SIunits.Voltage,v,"Voltage drop between the two pins (= p.v - n.v)", "public", false, false, false, false, "unspecified", "none", "unspecified",{}},{Modelica.SIunits.Current,i,"Current flowing from pin p to pin n", "public", false, false, false, false, "unspecified", "none", "unspecified",{}},{Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.PositivePin,p,"Positive pin (potential p.v > n.v for positive voltage drop v)", "public", false, false, false, false, "unspecified", "none", "unspecified",{}},{Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.NegativePin,n,"Negative pin", "public", false, false, false, false, "unspecified", "none", "unspecified",{}}}

n is listed in the above output (I have made it bold) and its type is Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Interfaces.NegativePin.

What do you mean by connection type?

Adeel.

I mean they way components are connected. For example resistor can be connected in series or in parallel, is there anyway to get this type of connection.

I don't know about it.

Adeel.

Ok really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.

You can find out if is a serial / parallel connection by analyzing the connections you have in a model.
So basically this is parallel:
connect(resistor1.n, a);
connect(resistor2.n, a);
connect(resistor1.p, b);
connect(resistor2.p, b);

But I guess you need to build a graph of the connections and analyze that.

ok i see but this is really complicated considering the different connections between all the different OpenModelica components so i was wonder is there any command to get the connection between two components for example something like getConnectionType(resistor1,resistor2).
