OpenModelica compatibility

[thorade]

There have been some questions in the OpenModelica forum about OpenModelica compatibility:

• https://openmodelica.org/forum/default-topic/1694-thermocycle-library-compatible-with-openmodelica
• https://openmodelica.org/forum/default-topic/1908-hvac-vapor-compression-cycle-simulation-in-openmodelica-help

OpenModelica guys give some hints how to get there:

Just opening the library in OpenModelica gives a lot of warnings, many of them are related to encoding. To be on the safe side, just use pure ASCII, do not use °C or m².

It would also be good to pass pedantic mode code check in the latest Dymola:

Dymola 2016 FD01 has some small improvements regarding UTF8 encoding.

To enable the new fatures, set the flag Advanced.PreferWritingLatin1:=false;.

Dymola 2018 has improved UTF-8 capabilities and allows to store all files as UTF-8 with BOM.

Closing this issue for now, as I do not know what the current status is in OpenModelica.
