Multibody MSL models containing springs don't simulate — at Initial Version

Reported by: Bruno Scaglioni Owned by: somebody
Priority: high Milestone: 1.9.0
Component: Run-time Version: 1.9.0Beta
Keywords: Multibody MSL3.2.1 Cc: Jens Frenkel

Description

Using MSL 3.2.1 and the last nightly build for windows (13047)
Models from Multibody.Examples containing springs compile but simulation doesn't complete.

the first tested model is:
model SpringWithMass

extends Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody.Examples.Elementary.SpringWithMass;

end SpringWithMass;

output file log contains this:

....
2 : assert(noEvent(spring.lineForce.length > spring.lineForce.s_small), "
The distance between the origin of frame_a and the origin of frame_b
of a LineForceWithMass component became smaller as parameter s_small
(= a small number, defined in the \"Advanced\" menu). The distance is
set to s_small, although it is smaller, to avoid a division by zero
when computing the direction of the line force. Possible reasons
for this situation:

  • At initial time the distance may already be zero: Change the initial positions of the bodies connected by this element.
  • Hardware stops are not modeled or are modeled not stiff enough. Include stops, e.g., stiff springs, or increase the stiffness if already present.
  • Another error in your model may lead to unrealistically large forces and torques that would in reality destroy the stops.
  • The flange_b connector might be defined by a pre-defined motion, e.g., with Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Position and the predefined flange_b.s is zero or negative.

and the result is this:

record SimulationResult

resultFile = "c:/temp/TestPolimi.MultiBody.MSLTest.Failed.SpringWithMass_res.mat",
simulationOptions = "startTime = 0.0, stopTime = 1.0, numberOfIntervals = 500, tolerance = 1e-06, method = 'dassl', fileNamePrefix = 'TestPolimi.MultiBody.MSLTest.Failed.SpringWithMass', storeInTemp = false, noClean = false, options = , outputFormat = 'mat', variableFilter = '.*', measureTime = false, cflags = , simflags = ",
