These models from MSL should definitely work in 2.0.0

fixed with ​PR2312

[Christoph Buchner <buchner@…>]

I just encountered someone having a ​very bad first user experience trying these two examples, both of them failing. I hoped to reassure the user that these examples have been fixed in current OM, but unfortunately, both of them fail to simulate with current master (​PumpingSystem and ​HeatingSystem).

Truncated logs (all above notification level):

Error: post-optimization module replaceHomotopyWithSimplified (initialization) failed.
Error: No system for the symbolic initialization was generated

and

Warning: The model contains alias variables with conflicting start and/or nominal values. It is recommended to resolve the conflicts, because otherwise the system could be hard to solve. To print the conflicting alias sets and the chosen candidates please use -d=aliasConflicts.

I think there must have been a regression since this was fixed, so can somebody more knowledgeable check this?

[casella]

I'll look into this.

PumpingSystem now ​works fine, while the issue with HeatingSystem is described in #5459.
