A Generic FMU Interface for Modelica
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses technical issues and implementation of a generic interface to import a Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU) into Modelica simulators, specifically the OpenModelica environment. Whereas other approaches for importing the FMUs rely on functionality specific to the simulator environment, this approach tries to provide a generic Modelica interface for embedding an FMU to be imported into a Modelica model. In this way any FMU conforming to the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) for Model Exchange v1.0 Specification for model exchange from MODELISAR can be imported into any Modelica simulator. When importing an FMU into a model, the resulting Modelica model can be used just like any pure Modelica models. Hence, a better reusability and interoperability for both sides, namely the external models provided via FMI and the Modelica environment, are achieved.

Combining Advantages of Specialized Simulation Tools and Modelica Models using Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI)
In power plant applications, detailed transient analysis of the evaporator results in very large fluid systems, i.e. the model consists of many equations. This is because the evaporator has many tubes and the spatial discretization has to be quite fine in order to appropriately model transient evaporation processes. In such cases, due to performance and workflow reasons, we use a specialized in...

We discuss the application of the FMI Co-Simulation technology to building energy performance simulation, where detailed physical building models are coupled to Modelica-based HVAC component and plant models. First, we describe the generation process of the building FMU from our stand-alone building simulation program NANDRAD and sketch out internal algorithms for FMI version 2 capabilities. Th...
متن کاملSimulating Rhapsody SysML Blocks in Hybrid Models with FMI
The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) standard enables hybrid simulation of models from different tools. Such tools can have different underlying behavioral semantics, creating challenges when models are combined. A case in point is the combination of the Rhapsody tool, widely used to describe and implement discrete control behavior, and Modelica, widely used to describe continuous plant behavi...
متن کاملA Scade Suite to Modelica Interface
This article presents implementation and utilization details of the currently developed interface from Scade Suite to Modelica. By a few clicks one can generate a Modelica block from Scade Suite models that can be directly used and simulated in Modelica. This block calls an external function periodically, where the Ccode generated by Scade Suite is invoked. The main purpose of the interface is ...
متن کاملHybrid co-simulation of FMUs using DEV&DESS in MECSYCO
Co-simulation is a key tool in the design and operation of a growing number of complex cyber-systems. But efficiently yet accurately combining continuous time components (such as FMUs) with event-based ones can be challenging, both from a modeling perspective and an operational, tools-oriented one. We propose a platform to tackle this problem building up on MECSYCO, a MAS-based DEVS wrapping pl...
