I found a way how to do this in user guide chapter 5  which is about interactive simulation, however the example which is written there doesn't work with OM 1.9.0beta4 under windows. When I try to run BouncingBall model (TwoTanks model doesn't exist where it should be according to the guide) which was built as .exe file with -interactive parameter from command line, program just terminates without any output or waiting for the client to connect. Furthermore I can't even find the OMI client anywhere in the OM folder. Any ideas how to get the example from the guide working?

Hi,

Interactive simulation doesn't work in 1.9.0beta4.
A lot of changes happened in the meantime.
You could use version 1.8.1 or the latest nightly build:
https://build.openmodelica.org/omc/buil … ly-builds/
where we made it work again (but is not very well tested)
Your choice.

Hi yojimbo,

I'm currently using OpenModelica 1.8.0 (changelog for 1.8.1 and 1.9.0 mentions interactive simulation not working; but there is no error message when launching your model, as you indeed specified).

However, even on 1.8.0, interactive simulation is tricky to get working correctly, as there is little to no input validation.

Good luck!
