model containing integer step fails with internal error

[peterjunglas]

The attached model schaltint (using GearWithExternalRatioI) fails with an internal error.

After replacing the IntegerStep by a real Step and the IntegerInput in the submodel by a RealInput, the models works.

Adding a complete, working version (previous one was incomplete):

{{{model GearWithExternalRatioI

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.Flange_a fla

annotation (Placement(transformation(

extent = {{-110, -10},{-90, 10}},rotation = 0)));

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.Flange_a flb

annotation (Placement(transformation(

extent = {{90, -10},{110, 10}},rotation = 0)));

Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.IntegerInput ratio

annotation (Placement(transformation(
extent = {{-10, 90},{10, 110}},rotation = -90)));

equation

fla.tau = -flb.tau / ratio;
fla.phi = ratio * flb.phi;

end GearWithExternalRatioI;

Flattening succeeds; but

[Frenkel TUD]

using flags +d=bltdump generates the following plot:

High index problem, differentiated equation:
integerstep1.y = integerstep1.offset + (if time < integerstep1.startTime then 0 else integerstep1.height)
to
0.0 = 0.0
High index problem, differentiated equation:
inertia2.phi = Real(integerstep1.y) * inertia3.phi
to
der(inertia2.phi) = Real(integerstep1.y) * der(inertia3.phi)
High index problem, differentiated equation:
0.0 = 0.0
to
0.0 = 0.0

The problem is omc tries to add a derivative of a discrete variable although the derivative of integerstep1.y is not necessary. The matching algorithm fails thereafter because no equation for der(integerstep1.y) is present.
