debugging asserts

[Mathadon]

I'm getting following error message in Dymola

4166.666666666667 < 836800.0*max(8.333333333333334E-07, 0.0008333333333333334)
The following error was detected at time: 0
Energy may not be conserved for small mass flow rates. The implementation may require prescribedHeatFlowRate = false.

this gives zero indication as to what component is causing the problem, which is annoying when debugging a full building model. Is there any way that we can include a variable or model name in the assert message?

In this case it was a heaterCooler_T with fixed flow rate and fixed heat injection, which is likely the reason why the variable names are not mentioned (since their values are fixed).

You can use the getInstanceName() function of Modelica. This would be good to add.
