Error in Modelica: Can only call functions that have one algorithm section or external function specification

290 views Asked by At

I wrote a code in ANSYS Twin Builder using Modelica. It throws me an error: "Calling function Medium.density(): can only call functions that have one algorithm section or external function specification " Would you help me why this error arises ? Thanks..

It seems you have not selected medium for Fluid-models, in Modelica you normally do that by modifying as follows:

Modelica.Fluid.Valves.ValveIncompressible NP (
  redeclare package Medium=Modelica.Media.Water.IdealSteam,
  ...

(For NP, HP, tank and tank1.)

Without that the Medium is PartialMedium where Medium.density is a partial function with neither algorithm nor external call.

Note that other tools will detect this in various other ways, and technically calling a function with neither algorithm nor external call is legal since Modelica 3.3 (provided the output variables have declaration assignments - which they don't in this case).

Additionally dp=dp(start=...) should be just dp(start=...), and vessel_ps_static shouldn't be changed like that.
