A successful co-simulation standard is crucial in applying
co-simulation in large scale distributed development processes.
A factor that affects the success of a standard is
how easily a vendor can implement it. In this paper, we
describe an approach to facilitate the implementation of
the Functional Mock-up Interface standard. In particular,
we propose the use of model-based testing for evaluating
the tools that export Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs).
This has the benefit that the model used as documentation
to describe the possible behaviors of an FMU, can also be
used to test it. These principles are embodied in a tool,
which is open source, and available online. We then use
this tool to evaluate the FMUs available in the FMI Crosscheck
repository.
