Buildings.Utilities.IO.Python27.Functions.Examples

Information

This package contains examples for the use of models that can be found in Buildings.Utilities.IO.Python.Functions.

The examples demonstrate how to call Python functions from Modelica.

Buildings.Utilities.IO.Python27.Functions.Examples.Exchange

Information

This example calls various functions in the Python module testFunctions.py. It tests whether arguments and return values are passed correctly. The functions in testFunctions.py are very simple in order to test whether they compute correctly, and whether the data conversion between Modelica and Python is implemented correctly. Each call to Python is followed by an assert statement which terminates the simulation if the return value is different from the expected value.
