Abstract

The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard for the exchange of dynamic models and for co-simulation. The development of FMI was initiated and organized by Daimler AG within the ITEA2 project MODELISAR. The primary goal is to support the exchange of simulation models between suppliers and OEMs even if a large variety of different tools are used. The FMI was developed in a close collaboration between simulation tool vendors and research institutes. In this article an overview about FMI is given and technical details about the solution are discussed.
