Description (last modified by )
As reported in https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/ticket/6059 and https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/ticket/6061 it is unexpected that changes to the settings, e.g. compiler flags, are not carried over to the simulation unless OMEdit is restarted.
The dialog box has a disclaimer saying: "Global flags applied to the Simulation Setup dialog upon the first simulation of a model."
In other words once a model has been simulated the only way to apply changes to the settings is through the "Simulation Setup" dialog.
None of the following helps to update the local settings:
- Simulate
- Re-simulate
- Re-simulate Setup (at least this should work)
- Unload+reload+simulate
- Delete results+simulate
Only a restart of OMEdit will carry over the global settings to the new simulation.
As this behavior is at least partially unexpected it can cause a significant amount of frustration when trying out different compiler flags.
I suggest that when a model is re-compiled, then it should also appreciate the latest global settings.
