What are valid realExpressions?

Questions
1

Dear users of SystemModeler

Mathematica expressions sometimes may replace several WSM blocks. I have searched for help on realExpression, but I have not found much. See, I want to use an expression like this one:

0.25*(1 + 0.15*sin(80*Modelica.Constants.pi time + Modelica.Constants.pi));

Why is this not valid?

Thanks in advance.

Jesus,

You need to use valid Modelica syntax. For your expression, this works.

0.25 * (1 + 0.15 * sin(80 * Modelica.Constants.pi * time + Modelica.Constants.pi))

You left out the multiplication (*) and no semicolon at the end

Regards,

Neil

Thank you Neil,

I guess, I expend too much time in the Mathematica syntax.

Thank you so much.

Neil,
Can I use signal components such as Modelica.Blocks.Sources.Pulse within a realExpression?

Thanks again

Jesus

Yes.

You have to reference other components as pulse1.y

Alternatively, You can enter the code in the text view of the model instead of using realExpression. In some cases this might be easier/clearer. (and you can reference other blocks such as blockname.variable)
