An error in Dymola "Failed to generate XML file for the FMU"?

Question

A model works fine, but on my PC it ends up with an error "Failed to generate XML file for the FMU". Someone told me this is because the XML parser is broken on Windows system. Anyone know the exact reason for this problem?

Answer 1

Both the logic to avoid generating that error, and the error message has been improved in later versions of Dymola. In Dymola 2020x you get:

Failed to generate XML file for the FMU or for variable dependencies.

indicating that the issue is likely that you have set Advanced.GenerateVariableDependencies=true;
