buildModel() is not working

[Amuri44]

I am trying to implement the code in julia:
https://openmodelica.org/doc/OpenModelicaUsersGuide/1.18/scripting_api.html#simulation-parameter-sweep
the loadFile is working but the buildModel (i.e., sendExpression(omc,"buildModel(BouncingBall)");) is not (although it works in omshell). Any idea or reason for that?

@Amuri44 , there is an extra parenthesis and semicolon, It should be sendExpression(omc, "buildModel(BouncingBall)") also please note that if there are some problems you should always use getErrorString() to see the error message sendExpression(omc, "getErrorString()"), So your code should be like this

sendExpression(omc, "buildModel(BouncingBall)")
sendExpression(omc, "getErrorString()")

[arun3688]

sendExpression(omc,"buildModel("C:/Users/amroa/AppData/Local/Temp/OpenModelica/BouncingBall")")
sendExpression(omc,"getErrorString()")

This is wrong, you cannot use buildModel like that, can you paste your full code

@arun3688
Thanks for your reply! I have two concerns please:
1- The code worked in the default directory i.e. "C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp\OpenModelica" and the system() command returned “0”. However, when I change the path directory to be through the One-Drive(i.e. "C:/path1/One-Drive/path2/model"), the code works except the system() command and it returns “1”. I did this also in the omshell with the same problem. Do you know why?

2- I want to put the system() command within a time-loop (iterations), in which the results of system() command will effect the next iteration. So, generating a results file such as .mat and reading form it (at each iteration) will consume a lot of time. Is there any way to show the results of system() command directly into the workspace of omshell rather than reading them from the generated results file (.mat)? I used val(variable, time) but it didnt return anything.

3- I am trying to set the path directory to the location returned by @DIR as written below, but it is not working. Any idea why?
omc= OMJulia.OMCSession();
sendExpression(omc,"cd("$(@DIR)")"); sendExpression(omc,"getErrorString()");
