SimulationX supports standard for the exchange of models

 

 

Within the MODELISAR (see www.modelisar.org) project a consortium of 28 industry and research partners from 5 European countries set the objective to offer the automotive industry an interface to efficiently coordinate simulation, modeling and optimization. This interface referred to as FMI "Functional Mock-up Interface“ (www.functional-mockup-interface.org) enables an open solution for the modeling of vehicle-related systems and the development of „embedded software“ to be integrated in a multi-domain simulation. Such a solution will exceed all isolated applications of the industry and will be an addition to existing SimulationX interfaces for the integration into tool and process chain already in existence. The new standard offers a higher model complexity and fulfills the requirements regarding model size, manageability, compatibility or process integration.

The whole functionality of a SimulationX model can be transferred into a FMU - Functional Mock-up Unit. The FMU is a  zipped filecontaining the model, the equation-based interface and a model description scheme. In addition to that further functionalities and data can be added.

SimulationX 3.4 offers two FMU solutions:

a)    FMI for model exchange
b)    FMI for co-simulation

As one of the first tool vendors ITI offers both the export of Functional Mock-Up Units for model exchange and co-simulation and the import of FMUs in SimulationX. For FMU for co-simulation an own solver is included that solves different subsystems of a heterogeneous coupled problem independent of time-discrete communication points. This option provides the opportunity to partition and parallelize large systems.
