Importing and using FMU > The Import Tool in detail > Import submodel-specific parameters
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. |
