Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Examples.FFD.* fail at runtime, probably because of binary issues

[casella]

The Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.Examples.FFD.* models (except ForcedConvection with OMC under Linux) fail at runtime with OMC 1.25.0-dev and Dymola 2024x. The runtime errors are different:

• out of heap space (most models with OMC under Linux)
• Process crashed Simulation process failed. Exited with code 0xffffffffc0000135. (ForcedConvection with OMC under Windows)
• simulation dies silently without generating .mat file (simulation with Dymola under Windows)

Please check if the ffd binaries are up-to-date with modern compilers. The instructions to compile the files refer to MS Visual Studio version 10, currently I am using Visual Studio 2022 a.k.a. version 19.

Keeping @deepak19015 and @AndreaBartolini in the loop.

@JayHuLBL : Please see this ticket. I don't think https://github.com/lbl-srg/modelica-buildings/pull/4039/files addressed it as it did not change Windows binaries.

[casella]

@mwetter, @JayHuLBL, the issue is still pending since Jan 2023. Can you please have a look at it?

Thanks!

[JayHuLBL]

@casella Thanks for the reminder. I will address the issue.

Adding @Pavanrajhr to the loop

[casella]

Our package indexing system is currently broken, so we are not updating the libraries since Nov 21. Hence, we still see those models failing in the CI report.

This should be fixed soon.

[casella]

@Pavanrajhr, please check on Friday 29.

[mwetter]

There is another fix for this issue through #4067

[Pavanrajhr]

@casella It is still failing.

[JayHuLBL]

@Pavanrajhr Let me double check.

In my tests,

in Windows 10 OS, the models can run successfully with Dymola 2024x.

However, the models failed to run with OpenModelica (v1.25.0-dev-210-ge91d746f9e) in Windows 10, with the error as below:

Process crashed Simulation process failed. Exited with code 0xffffffffc0000005.

In Ubuntu 22.04, the models can run with both the dymola 2024x and OpenModelica. For OpenModelica simulation, it gives message as below:
