Common parameters

These parameters are present in every import submodels, regardless of the type of the underlying FMU (Model Exchange or Co-simulation).

Parameter name enablelogging
Parameter title enable logging
Allowed values yes or no
Initial value no
Default value no
Meaning If set to yes, FMU logging messages arising during simulation are reported in the Run Details dialog box of Simcenter Amesim.
Parameter name fmuLocation
Parameter title path to the unzipped FMU root
Allowed values an absolute or relative path to a directory
Initial value the absolute path to the unpacked FMU produced by the Import Tool
Default value the relative path to the unpacked FMU, i.e. the name of the FMU
Meaning the path to the unpacked FMU zip-file. Simcenter Amesim uses this path to locate and load the platform-dependent dynamic link library or shared library of the FMU. It is thus mandatory that this parameter be properly set to perform simulation. If this directory is moved around in the file system, this parameter has to be updated to follow the new location.
