Introduction

ModelicaScriptingTools.jl (or short MoST.jl) contains utility functions to improve the usability of OMJulia. This currently includes the following main features:

Easy setup of OMCSession with configurable output and model directory
Escaping and unescaping Modelica strings for use in sendExpression()
Support for unit tests and regression tests using Julia's Test package

Installation

MoST.jl is available as a Julia package with the name ModelicaScriptingTools. You can install it using the Pkg REPL, which can be accessed by typing ] in a Julia prompt.

pkg> add ModelicaScriptingTools

Alternatively you can also install MoST.jl using the following Julia commands:

using Pkg
Pkg.add("ModelicaScriptingTools")

The following example uses MoST.jl to test the model defined in the file test/res/Èxample.mo by loading and instantiating the model, performing a simulation according to the settings specified in the model file, and comparing the results, which are written in the folder test/out, to a reference dataset in test/regRefData, if such a reference file exists.

using ModelicaScriptingTools
using Test

withOMC("test/out", "test/res") do omc
    @testset "Example" begin
        testmodel(omc, "Example"; refdir="test/regRefData")
    end
end
