Usage of the extends command

Usage of the extends command

Jun-12-13 15:13:02

Hello

I'm creating a custom library in OMEdit 1.9.0 and I want to have a component wherein I can enter all my parameters which will be used throughout other components i.e The parameters would be globally accessible. I also want to avoid the usage of connectors as it would make the final model very messy and would require a lot of connections.
I am currently trying to use the extends command which seems to work fine but it also inherits the Icon profile of the component and overrides it over the icons of the other components. Is there any way I can avoid this ? Also is there a better way of having globally accessible variables which can be entered in through a component ?

I unfortunately cannot attach the original code but I have made a small similar example of the same. Hope it explains the problem well enough.

Thank You

This is Package which has all the components -

Code:


package Package

 

  model a

  annotation(Icon(graphics = {Rectangle(rotation = 0, lineColor = {0,0,255}, fillColor = {0,0,0}, pattern = LinePattern.Solid, fillPattern = FillPattern.None, lineThickness = 0.25, extent = {{-100,50},{100,-50}})}));

  parameter Real x(start = 4);

  parameter Real x1(start = 41);

  end a;



  model b

  annotation(Icon(graphics = {Rectangle(rotation = 0, lineColor = {0,0,255}, fillColor = {0,0,0}, pattern = LinePattern.Solid, fillPattern = FillPattern.None, lineThickness = 0.25, extent = {{-50,100},{50,-100}})}));

  parameter Real p(start = 15);

  Real q;

  Real r;

  extends Package.a;

  equation

    q = x * x1;

    r = q * p;

  end b;

  

end Package;

This is the model which contains the components from the Package

Code:




model Test

  Package.a a1 annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-20,60}, extent = {{-12,-12},{12,12}}, rotation = 0)));

  Package.b b1 annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-20,15}, extent = {{-12,-12},{12,12}}, rotation = 0)));

  annotation(experiment(StartTime = 0.0, StopTime = 4, Tolerance = 0.000001));

end Test;
