Question

I'm doing my first steps in OpenModelica, and have trouble to get the MDT running in eclipse.

*) OpenModelica v1.18.0 (64-bit) installed

*) Installation MDT in eclispes done according to: https://openmodelica.org/doc/OpenModelicaUsersGuide/latest/mdt.html

*) Modelica project generated, with first demo function.

model demo
   Real x(start=1);
   parameter Real a = 1;
   
equation
  dev(x) = -a*x;
end demo;

*) I state an OpenModelica Console and try to simulate. This is my feedback.

*) The Problem: So starting the Consoel seems to work. Hoever no feedback is shown. Also no window with plot is shown.

Things checked:

• OPENMODELICAHOME=C:\Program Files\OpenModelica1.18.0-64bit\ ... seems to be correct

As suggested by Aldrian: OMEdit is the better tool for my requirements. So issue on MDT does not affect me anymore. Question closed.
