Executing Modelica Functions and Scripts and CATIA System Behavior Simulations

You use the System Experiment Batch utility to run Modelica functions and Modelica scripts from a Dymola behavior library created in the CATIA Dymola Behavior Modeling app. You can also run a System Behavior simulation created with the CATIA Behavior Experience app from the Dymola behavior library.

This task shows you how to:

Executing Only the Modelica Functions and Modelica Scripts

You can run Modelica scripts and Modelica functions of a Dymola behavior library without creating a System Behavior Simulation object from the library. In this case only the scripts and functions can run, not any model of the library.

  1. From the Utilities section of the action bar, click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility and drop it on the process diagram.
  2. Double-click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility .
  3. From the 3DX Utility editor that appears, select the Execution tab.
  4. From the Select a 3DX Utility menu, select System Experiment Batch.
  5. To select the Dymola behavior library containing the functions and scripts to run, do the following:
    1. Select Content.
    2. Click Search in the dialog, and select the library.

      Note: When searching, search for objects of the type Behavior Library Reference.

  6. Under Systems Simulation Batch Execution Options, specify the Modelica script paths and the Modelica function calls.

    For example:

    Input Box Path or Call
    Script file name modelica://MyLib/MyScript.mos
    Modelica function name MyLib.MyFunction("Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Examples.CauerLowPassAnalog", "R1.i", "E:/temp/MyPlot2.png")

    For more information about the underlying example of script and function used here, see Dymola Behavior Modeling User´s Guide: Performing a Virtual Execution: Scripting: Running Scripts and Functions with Batch.

  7. Select the Execution Options.

Executing a CATIA System Behavior Simulation

You can use the System Experiment Batch utility to run a System Behavior Simulation created by the CATIA Behavior Experience app. If the behavior library containing the model used to create the simulation contains Modelica functions and Modelica scripts, they can also be run.

  1. From the Utilities section of the action bar, click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility and drop it on the process diagram.
  2. Double-click 3DEXPERIENCE Utility .
  3. From the 3DX Utility editor that appears, select the Execution tab.
  4. From the Select a 3DX Utility menu, select System Experiment Batch.
  5. To select the System Behavior Simulation object to run, do either of the following:
    • Select Content, and do any of the following:
      • Select a System Behavior Simulation object in the workflow
      • Click Search in the dialog box, and select a System Behavior Simulation object
        Note: Search for objects of type Simulation (abstract).
    • Select Parameter, and select an object parameter that refers to a System Behavior Simulation object.
  6. Optional: If the model or library used to create the System Behavior Simulation contains Modelica functions or Modelica scripts, they can also be run by specifying the Modelica script paths and the Modelica function calls, under Systems Simulation Batch Execution Options.

    For example:

    Input Box Path or Call
    Script file name modelica://MyLib/MyScript.mos
    Modelica function name MyLib.MyFunction("Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Examples.CauerLowPassAnalog", "R1.i", "E:/temp/MyPlot2.png")

    For more information about the underlying example of script and function used here, see Dymola Behavior Modeling User´s Guide: Performing a Virtual Execution: Scripting: Running Script Files and Functions with Batch.

    Note: To also have a System Behavior Simulation to run, you must create such simulation from the model in the behavior library. For details about this, see the tip in Behavior Experience User´s Guide: Running a Simulation: Running a Behavior Experience with Batch.
