Missing start value

Question

This is a follow-up question. After I solved structurally singularity error. It throws me a new error saying

Hochdruckreiniger2 : Iteration variable "der(Hochdrucktank.V)" is missing start value!
Iteration variable "der(Hochdrucktank.medium.h)" is missing start value
Iteration variable "der(Niederdrucktank.V)" is missing start value!
Iteration variable "der(Niederdrucktank.medium.h)" is missing start value!
Iteration variable "der(Swept1.medium.p)" is missing start value! 

Although I give start values in the initialization and initialize subsections, I get this error. Could you give me a suggestion on the solving this problem?

Answer 1

To introduce a guess-value for a derivative you have to do something like the following in Modelica:

  Real dummyStart(start=...);
equation
  dummyStart=der(Hochdrucktank.V);

or possibly:

  Real dummyStart(start=...)=der(Hochdrucktank.V);

In some cases an extra variable is not needed as there already exists such a variable, and it's just a matter of finding it.
