Since its 3.3 release, Modelica offers the possibility to specify models of dynamical systems with multiple modes having different DAE-based dynamics. However, the handling of such models by the current Modelica tools is not satisfactory, with mathematically sound models yielding exceptions at runtime.In this report, we illustrate this behavior on several small-sized examples, shedding light on the shortcomings of the approximate structural analysis implemented in current Modelica tools. To address part of these issues, we propose a systematic transformation process for multimode Modelica models, based on the results of an already implemented multimode structural analysis, that guarantees that the output Modelica model is correctly compiled...
