[Scilab-users] Xcos simulation IDA_ERR_FAIL

[Serge Steer]

The problem may be due to the discontinuities  introduced by the 
switches. The DAE solver assumes the system to be at least continuuos.
It should be better to control the swith,  with a discrete time signal 
instead of the step blocks with are continuous time.
Using discret time control insures the solver is stopped when the event 
arises and restart just after.

You can generate a discrete command for the switch using a selector 
block and an "event at time" block.
