Information

Some models in this package use interactive user input thanks to features from the Modelica_DeviceDrivers library and/or DLR's Visualization library. Their output can be controlled by keyboard or joystick.

Note that the example ModuleTest_NoInput, as its name indicates, has no input and runs as regular simulation. This is left for reference for the user's developers to understand the differences between a regular example (no interaction) and the other two examples.

The following summarizes how the examples should be run:

1. If you do NOT have a license for DLR's Visualization library, you can run the example ModuleTest_Dymola, which has preconfigured keyboard inputs. To see your changes in real-time, you must select the the Simulation ribbon, which is synced with real-time. While a simulation is running, open a plot window and select the variables to monitor. For example, as shown below, one could monitor the height by monitoring the keyboard input for the Z-coordinate by plotting keyboardInputs_Dymola.Z and the corresponding sensor signal controlModuleTest_fmu_inputs1.zgps.

2. If you have a Professional Edition license for DLR's Visualization library, you can run the example ModuleTestSimVis. Follow the instructions from the library on how to run models that use this library.

   To obtain a license, see: https://visualization.ltx.de/

3. When using the Community Edition version of DLR's Visualization library, one of the cameras in the model would need to be removed.

Example Run of ModuleTest_Dymola

The image below shows a running simulation of the model ModuleTest_Dymola. The blue line shows the command issued from the keyboard, while the red line the model's response.
