Description (last modified by Per Östlund)

If-equations with variable conditions must have an else-clause. We detect this, but for a model such as

model VarConditionNoElse
  Real x(start = 0.0), y(start = 2.0);
equation
  if x < 1.0 then
    x = time;
    y = y + x;
  elseif x >= 1.0 then
    x = 1.0;
    y = der(y);
  end if;
end VarConditionNoElse;

we print out an error message like

If-equation with conditions that are not parameter expressions must have the same number of equations in each branch, equation count is {2,2,0} for each respective branch

So it's not very clear that the real error is a missing else-clause. We could improve this by simply printing out a different error for the case where the else-clause is missing.
