3953	simulate(..) returns record instead of string	Bernhard Thiele	somebody	"According the its signature the MOS scripting function `simulate(..)` should return a String. However, (?sometimes?) a record is returned.

Consider following MOS script:

{{{
#!modelica
loadModel(Modelica);

res := simulate(Modelica.Blocks.Examples.PID_Controller);
print(""A"");
print(res); // No error, but this line will be blank?
print(""B"");

if true then
  res := simulate(Modelica.Blocks.Examples.PID_Controller);
  print(res); // Throws an error that a record is passed, but a String is expected
else
  print(""Just to have an else"");
end if;
}}}

The first print doesn't work (but gives error), the second print fails with a type error (expected String, but got a record).

How is the return value of `simulate(..)` supposed to work?"	defect	new	high	Future	Interactive Environment				Adrian Pop Martin Sjölund
