OpenStudio SDK - using GbXML reverse Translator

I have managed to make an optional model by using the gbxml reverse translator using the code below:

require 'openstudio'

translator = OpenStudio::GbXML::GbXMLReverseTranslator.new

newModel = translator.loadModel(OpenStudio::Path.new('C:\Users\szilasia\Documents\dscEngine\gbxml3.xml'))

Unfortunately the model is not initalized so I can't convert it to a model as seen here

How can I initalize the model?

You'll have to check if the optional model is initialized and then cast to a Model object with .get, as shown in this answer.

@Eric Ringold thank you for your answer! Unfortunately the model is not initalized how can I initalize it?

From Dan's answer:

if (optionalModel.is_initialized()){
  OpenStudio.Model model = optionalModel.get(); // call get only if it is initialized
}

If is_initialized returns false, there is something going wrong in the translation. You could try to print the translator errors and warnings (again, see Dan's answer).
