What can I do for "`FMIConnector:-CreateArchive`. Error: "

I faced `FMIConnector:-CreateArchive`. Error: when simulating Activate model with Modelica blocks.

What can I do for this?

---- detail ----

I ran 'C:\Program Files\Altair\2019\ActivateBasic2019.1\tutorial_models\Extended_Book_Models\Chapter_11_Physical_modeling\motor.scm' ,

then I found error messages as below:

Starting Simulation

Error: Error, (in FMIConnector:-GenerateCode) procedure: `FMIConnector:-GenerateCode`. Error:

procedure: `FMIConnector:-CreateArchive`. Error:

Model: motor

with Windows10 64bit, Activate 2019.1.

I found that, 'tools>compile' command shows almost same messages like this:

Starting Compilation

Error: Error, (in FMIConnector:-GenerateCode) procedure: `FMIConnector:-GenerateCode`. Error:

And, I created new Activate model includes modelica blocks and ran, then almost same Errors appeared.

That's a matter around C++ compilers?

I'm working with Visual Studio 2017 Express, and

> vssGetCompilerName()

ans = vc_env

seems OK.

Hi Soichiro Fukamachi,

It seems that you haven't installed the right compiler. vc_enc isn't a C++-compiler. The answer to getCompilerName should be like this:

 > vssGetCompilerName() ans = vc15_community_x64

Please check that you have installed the C++-compiler of the package (another tick of a check box during installation). C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 17.0\VC (or similar) should contain vcvarsall.bat and \bin\amd64\cl.exe.

Hi, RoKet.

It goes all right.

I removed Visual Studio 2017 Express, then installed Visual Studio Build Tools 2017.

So that:

> vssGetCompilerName

ans = vc15_buildtools

Finally, the simulation runs successfully!

Thank you for your advice.

Hi,

I get the same error as described above, however I also get this:

> vssGetCompilerName

ans = vc15_buildtools

My paths looks like this:

Do you know what might be wrong in my setup?

Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!

Hi Romain B,

I have no experience with Visual Studio Build Tools 2017, I always use Visual Studio Community (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/). It is important to install the C++ environment (sorry for German version)

Settings in Activate doesn't matter, the compiler is searched automatically (and hopefully found).

This topic also covers compiler installation.

I installed Activate 2019.4 and while trying to run a Modelica model from the demo browser, i also got the FMIConnector issue.

I have VS2017 build tools installed in my machine.

Any tips?

Adriano,

The first time that I've tried to Run a modelica tutorial model, I got the same problem as you, even showing: ans = vc15_buildtools (So theorically I've installed the C++ package).

What I've done was to check what I've indeed installed on C++ package as mentioned by @RoKet (once has a wide options to select).

I'd suggest you to do the same thing. So when you open the 'vs_BuildTools', please do check these items that I've indicated with a red arrow (picture below, sorry for the portuguese), and then modify your installation to install then.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

One check that you can do is, searching for a similar path below (as mentioned by @RoKet): (It is curious that before doing these changes, I did not have these folders, even with C++ package installed).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Maybe with this, you can run your model (it worked exactly like that with me). By the way, I've attached the vs_BuildTools to you modify you package.

João.

Hi @João Marabisa

Mine was not with all the options checked. I was missing a few options.

I will update my installation and try it again.

Thanks for the tip /emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

@João Marabisa

Now it worked!

I was missing the components in the bottom, like you've showed in your screen.

Thank you so much!
