The System Compilation window

When compilation occurs, the following dialog box appears:

Figure 269: Messages tab

This window provides the following information:

• The number of state variables in the model.

• The number of implicit variables declared or generated.

• The presence of algebraic loops.

• The Details tab, which shows compilation and link messages of the source code generated for the Simcenter Amesim model.

You can interrupt the compilation by clicking the Stop compilation button , or using Ctrl+F7.

Error messages

If compilation was successful, the Messages tab displays the message Completed. If compilation was not successful, the Details window displays the relevant error messages:

Algebraic loops

If your system contains algebraic loops, the System Compilation window enables you to locate them by clicking the arrows in the window to highlight them in the sketch:

Figure 271: Locating algebraic loops

You can navigate through all levels of a sketch that contains algebraic loops (including supercomponents) using the arrows, as the System Compilation window does not block access. Once you close the window, the highlights on algebraic loops disappear, but you can locate them again through the Performance Analyzer.
