Function Modelica.​Math.​isEqual
Determine if two Real scalars are numerically identical

Information

Syntax

Math.isEqual(s1, s2);
Math.isEqual(s1, s2, eps=0);

Description

The function call "Math.isEqual(s1, s2)" returns true, if the two Real scalars s1 and s2 are identical. Otherwise the function returns false. The equality check is performed by "abs(s1-s2) ≤ eps", where "eps" can be provided as third argument of the function. Default is "eps = 0".

Example

  Real s1 = 2.0;
  Real s2 = 2.0;
  Real s3 = 2.000001;
  Boolean result;
algorithm
  result := Math.isEqual(s1,s2);     // = true
  result := Math.isEqual(s1,s3);     // = false
  result := Math.isEqual(s1,s3,0.1); // = true

Function Modelica.​Math.​isPowerOf2
Determine if the integer input is a power of 2

Information

Syntax

Math.isPowerOf2(i);

Description

The function call "Math.isPowerOf2(i)" returns true, if the Integer input i is a power of 2. Otherwise the function returns false. The Integer input has to be >=1.

Example

  Integer i1 = 1;
  Integer i2 = 4;
  Integer i3 = 9;
  Boolean result;
algorithm
  result := Math.isPowerOf2(i1);     // = true 2^0
  result := Math.isPowerOf2(i2);     // = true 2^2
  result := Math.isPowerOf2(i3);     // = false

Information

This function returns y = atan2(u1,u2) such that tan(y) = u1/u2 and y is in the range -pi < y ≤ pi. u2 may be zero, provided u1 is not zero. Usually u1, u2 is provided in such a form that u1 = sin(y) and u2 = cos(y):

Information

This function returns y = atan3(u1,u2,y0) such that tan(y) = u1/u2 and y is in the range: -pi < y-y0 ≤ pi.
u2 may be zero, provided u1 is not zero. The difference to Modelica.Math.atan2(..) is the optional third argument y0 that allows to specify which of the infinite many solutions shall be returned:

Note, for the default case (y0=0), exactly the same result as with atan2(..) is returned.

Function Modelica.​Math.​asinh

Function Modelica.​Math.​acosh
Inverse of cosh (area hyperbolic cosine)

Information

This function returns the area hyperbolic cosine of its input argument u. The valid range of u is

+1 ≤ u < +∞

If the function is called with u < 1, an error occurs. The function cosh(u) has two inverse functions (the curve looks similar to a sqrt(..) function). acosh(..) returns the inverse that is positive. At u=1, the derivative dy/du is infinite. Therefore, this function should not be used in a model, if u can become close to 1:
