Error Message:



Could not send request to meta controller. Please check if the meta controller is running.

Solution


This error can be caused by a OPAL_META_CTL_IP environment variable set to an invalid node address or to a node on which the meta controller is not currently running.


If you have an error when generating FMUs, please refer to this KB Article.


1 - For versions of RT-LAB 11.2+, the FMUCreator executable (.exe) normally found in C:\OPAL-RT\RT-LAB\v11.x.x.x\FMUCreator is not present. It's normal, it has been changed to a .bat file to resolve compatibility issue with Windows 10. This .bat file is compatible with earlier versions of Windows as well.




2 - Make sure that the MetaController is running before you open FMU Creator (.bat or .exe). The MetaController version running must be the same as the one you are opening the FMUCreator for i.e. Metacontroller v11.2+ is running if using C:\OPAL-RT\RT-LAB\vX.X.X.X\FMUCreator\FMUCreator.bat. You can run the MetaController either by starting RT-LAB or starting the Metacontroller by itself. It will be present at the bottom right part of your TaskBar when running, see picture bellow.
