Version 13.0.1

Extends from Modelica.Icons.ReleaseNotes (Icon for release notes in documentation).

Information

Version 13.0.1 is backward compatible with 13.0.0.

The library has been tested with Dymola 2026x, OpenModelica 1.26.3, OPTIMICA 1.66 and recent versions of Impact.

This backward compatible version contains various model improvements.

The following existing components have been improved in a backward compatible way:

Buildings.Air.Systems.SingleZone.VAV.Examples.OptimalStart
Buildings.Air.Systems.SingleZone.VAV.Examples.OptimalStart.BaseClasses.ZoneWithAHUConventional
Buildings.Air.Systems.SingleZone.VAV.Examples.OptimalStart.BaseClasses.ZoneWithAHUG36
Changed the class type from block to model.
This is for Buildings, issue 4606.
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows
Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.Overhang Changed the class type from block to model.
This is for Buildings, issue 4606.
Buildings.BoundaryConditions
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.IncidenceAngle
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.ZenithAngle
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffuseIsotropic
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffusePerez
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DirectTiltedSurface
Buildings.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.GlobalPerezTiltedSurface
Changed the class type from block to model.
This is for IBPSA, issue 2122.
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Integers.Change
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.Change
Replaced initial equation with start attribute on input.
This is for Buildings, issue 4581.
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.Edge
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.FallingEdge
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.Pre
Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.TrueFalseHold
Replaced initial equation with start attribute on input.
This is for IBPSA, #2136.
Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed
Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Examples.FFD Improved C source codes and recompiled FFD library to allow the examples being simulated with OpenModelica.
This is for Buildings, #4015.
Buildings.Fluid.Sources
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialSource
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialAirSource
Removed deprecated cardinality function.
Removed protected parameter flowDirection as it was set to Bidirectional and had no effect on the model. The annotation mayOnlyConnectOnce must not be used for these models as they are often used to set the reference pressure in closed system flow networks.
This is for Buildings, #4607.
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.TraceSubstancesFlowSource Removed deprecated cardinality function and replaced with mayOnlyConnectOnce annotation.
Removed protected parameter flowDirection as it was set to Bidirectional and had no effect on the model.
This is for Buildings, #4607.
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_24_2_0
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_24_2_0.Validation.MultipleBuildings Improved C source codes to allow the validation model being simulated with OpenModelica.
This is for Buildings, #3345.
Buildings.ThermalZones.EnergyPlus_24_2_0.OpaqueConstruction Removed deprecated cardinality function and replaced with mustBeConnected annotation.
This is for Buildings, #4607.
Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB
Buildings.Utilities.IO.BCVTB.BaseClasses.FluidInterface Removed protected parameter flowDirection as it was set to Bidirectional and had no effect on the model.
This is for Buildings, #4607.
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics
Buildings.Utilities.Psychrometrics.TWetBul_TDryBulXi Added nominal attribute for temperature.
This is for IBPSA, #2155.

The following uncritical errors have been fixed (i.e., errors that do not lead to wrong simulation results, e.g., units are wrong or errors in documentation):

Buildings.Fluid.DXSystems
Buildings.Fluid.DXSystems.Cooling.BaseClasses.Evaporation Added missing variable assignment for unused variable in a branch that will not compute evaporation.
This is for Buildings, #4715.
Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.ThermalResponseFactors
Buildings.Fluid.Geothermal.Borefields.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.ThermalResponseFactors.gFunction Initialized local variables A and B to avoid use of uninitialized elements of a matrix. This update does not change the results.
This is for Buildings, #4707.
Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.BaseClasses
Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.BaseClasses.PartialReversibleRefrigerantMachine Corrected the flow reversal parameter in the condenser mass flow sensor (allowFlowReversalEva was used instead of allowFlowReversalCon). Also corrected the sensor description from evaporator to condenser.
This is for IBPSA, #2162.

Note:

  • Added unit specification to various models to avoid a warning in Dymola 2025x.
