Why is that (local seetings maybe?) and how to reproduce the former, more compact output?

On the corresponding Modelica page I find

Since MapleSim 2024 now has been upgraded to Modelica 4.0 (which I appreciate very much by the way - Thank you), I was wondering if I could give this libraray a try?

I am looking for simple ways to set up digital controllers in the context of developement of code for micro-controllers. From the github page:

Furthermore, in sublibrary Controller about 20 input/output blocks of linear systems are provided that are based on the different representation forms, e.g., PID, StateSpace, Filter blocks. A unique feature of these blocks is that it is very convenient to quickly switch between a continuous and a discrete block representation. Also, templates are provide to quickly built-up standard controller structures. 

I was about to convert -1 to exp(I*Pi).

First try by intuition

convert(-1, exp);
                               -1

False intuition. Next try by right click on -1 and consulting the context pannel: -> nothing that rings a bell

Entering a complex number 0.5000000001 + 0.8660254037*I to see if that changes something

-> something but no exponential form

->   OK, I know this. -> refine query

Polar, of course!

convert(-1, polar);
                          polar(1, Pi)

Not what I want. Maybe

convert(convert(-1, polar), exp);
                               -1

I have tried to understand why ODESteps cannot find a solution for cases where an ODE can separated into a polynomial expression and an ODE.

or example, when I trace like this

restart;
trace(Student:-ODEs:-ODESteps:-ModuleApply);
printlevel:=10;
Student:-ODEs:-ODESteps:-ModuleApply(x*(diff(y(x), x)) = 0);
printlevel:=1

trace is tracing an unknown procedure

and not showing any further details of this procedure.
What unknow function/procedure is traced?

Can, in this particular case, the message "Cannot compute integral"   be traced (it’s not an error message, which are traceable).

I have tried to increase printlevel which reveals some unkown procedures but did not get down to this one. Hence my questions.

In the example below, the second call to simplify is ineffective

eq := (a*x + b)/(c*x + d) = 1;

`simplify/nodenom`:= x -> (numer@(lhs - rhs) = 0)(x);                       
                      
`simplify/nodenom`(eq);
simplify(eq, nodenom);

Why is that?
Convert, for example, works

`convert/nodenom`:= x -> (numer@(lhs - rhs) = 0)(x);

`convert/nodenom`(eq);
               
convert(eq, nodenom);
