FMI: Functional Mockup Interface for Model Exchange and Co‑Simulation
Abstract:
The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard for the exchange of dynamic models and for co-simulation. The FMI was developed in a close collaboration between simulation tool vendors, research institutes and industrial users within the European joint research project MODELISAR. It is continued as Modelica Association Project since 2012. More than 30 tools support FMI, and it is heavily used in industrial and scientific projects, not only in the automotive sector. The presentation explains the technical concepts of FMI and demonstrates some industrial applications. Additionally an overview about version 2.0 of FMI is given that combines the formerly separated interfaces for Model Exchange and Co‑Simulation in one standard.
