Change annotation(Evaluate=true/false ) for parameters in models from Modelica Standard Library

问题

I am using some components from the Modelica Standard Library (MSL) in my simulations. These components each have some parameters. For example, Modelica.Fluid.Sources.MassFlowSource_T has a parameter m_flow. Usually, parameters can be changed between simulation runs without re-compilation. This is not the case for m_flow, because it has an annotation(Evaluate=true), so it is used for symbolic processing.
Is it possible to change the annotations of parameters at instantiation? I tried the following, but it didn't work.

Modelica.Fluid.Sources.MassFlowSource_T source2(
    redeclare package Medium = Medium2,
    nPorts=1,
    m_flow=22.17 annotation(Evaluate=false));

Of course there are workarounds, like making a copy first and changing the annotation there or using use_m_flow_in=true and a constant source block.

回答1:

As far as I know this is not possible with current Modelica Specification. Some tools might support it if you extend MassFlowSource_T:

model MassFlowSource_T_2
  extends Modelica.Fluid.Sources.MassFlowSource_T;
  // declare m_flow here again with annotation(Evaluate=false);
end MassFlowSource_T_2;

use MassFlowSource_T_2 when you declare source2.

There is some work in progress to extend the way annotations are specified/handled but it will be a while until it makes it into the Modelica Specification: https://trac.modelica.org/Modelica/ticket/1293 (not open to the public yet).
