Class-specific Changes

Modelica.SIunits

Removed `final` from quantity attribute for Mass and MassFlowRate.

Modelica.Blocks.Math.Sum

Implemented avoiding algorithm section, which would lead to expensive function calls.

Modelica.Blocks.Sources.Step

    block Step "Generate step signals of type Real"
            parameter Real height[:]={1} "Heights of steps";
     // parameter Real offset[:]={0} "Offsets of output signals";
    // parameter SIunits.Time startTime[:]={0} "Output = offset for time < startTime";
    // extends Interfaces.MO          (final nout=max([size(height, 1); size(offset, 1); size(startTime, 1)]));
            extends Interfaces.SignalSource(final nout=max([size(height, 1); size(offset, 1); size(startTime, 1)]));

Modelica.Blocks.Sources.Exponentials

Replaced usage of built-in function `exp` by Modelica.Math.exp.

Modelica.Blocks.Sources.TimeTable

Interface definition changed from

    parameter Real table[:, :]=[0, 0; 1, 1; 2, 4] "Table matrix (time = first column)";

to

    parameter Real table[:, 2]=[0, 0; 1, 1; 2, 4] "Table matrix (time = first column)";

Did the same for subfunction getInterpolationCoefficients.

Bug in getInterpolationCoefficients for startTime <> 0 fixed:

            ...
                    end if;
              end if;
              // Take into account startTime "a*(time - startTime) + b"
              b := b - a*startTime;
            end getInterpolationCoefficients;

Modelica.Blocks.Sources.BooleanStep

    block BooleanStep "Generate step signals of type Boolean"
            parameter SIunits.Time startTime[:]={0} "Time instants of steps";
            parameter Boolean startValue[size(startTime, 1)]=fill(false, size(startTime, 1)) "Output before startTime";
            extends Interfaces.BooleanSignalSource(final nout=size(startTime, 1));
    equation
            for i in 1:nout loop
    //   outPort.signal[i] = time >= startTime[i];
              outPort.signal[i] = if time >= startTime[i] then not startValue[i] else startValue[i];
            end for;
    end BooleanStep;

Modelica.Electrical.Analog

Corrected table of values and default for Beta by dividing them by 1000 (consistent with the values used in the NAND-example model):

- Semiconductors.PMOS
- Semiconductors.NMOS

Corrected parameter defaults, unit and description for TrapezoidCurrent. This makes the parameters consistent with their use in the model. Models specifying parameter values are not changed. Models not specifying parameter values did not generate trapezoids previously.

Icon layer background changed from transparent to white:

- Basic.Gyrator
- Basic.EMF
- Ideal.Idle
- Ideal.Short

Basic.Transformer: Replaced invalid escape characters '\ ' and '\[newline]' in documentation by '|'.

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational

Removed arrows and names documentation from flanges in diagram layer

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Interfaces.FrictionBase

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.Position

Replaced `reinit` by `initial equation`

Modelica.Mechanics.Rotational.RelativeStates

Bug corrected by using modifier `stateSelect = StateSelect.prefer` as implementation

Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Interfaces.flange_b

Attribute fillColor=7 added to Rectangle on Icon layer, i.e., it is now filled with white and not transparent any more.

Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Position

Replaced `reinit` by `initial equation`

Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.RelativeStates

Bug corrected by using modifier `stateSelect = StateSelect.prefer` as implementation

Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Stop

Use `stateSelect = StateSelect.prefer`.

Modelica.Mechanics.Translational.Examples.PreLoad

Improved documentation and coordinate system used for example.

ModelicaAdditions.Blocks.Nonlinear.PadeDelay

Replaced `reinit` by `initial equation`

ModelicaAdditions.HeatFlow1D.Interfaces

Definition of connectors Surface_a and Surface_b:
`flow SIunits.HeatFlux q;` changed to `flow SIunits.HeatFlowRate q;`

MultiBody.Parts.InertialSystem

Icon corrected.
