FMU platform and architecture definition

To export an FMU, it is necessary to define one or more target.

FMU for Real Time

For FMU for Real Time, you only need to define one target. The list of possible targets is provided below.

Real-time target (FMU architecture)	Simcenter Amesim platform
Name	Description, FMU package	Windows	Linux
AVL_intime	AVL Testbed.CONNECT (source code)	Available	Available
SIMWB32	Concurrent SimWB x32 (source code)	Available	Available
SIMWB64	Concurrent SimWB x64 (binary)	Available	Available
SIMWB64_SC	Concurrent SimWB x64 (source code)	/	Available
SCALEXIO_QNX	dSPACE SCALEXIO qnx (source code)	Available	Available
SCALEXIO_LNX	dSPACE SCALEXIO x32 (source code)	Available	Available
LABCAR32	ETAS LABCAR x32 (source code)	Available	Available
LABCAR64	ETAS LABCAR x64 (binary)	Available	Available
LABCAR64_SC	ETAS LABCAR x64 (source code)	/	Available
xMOD	FEV xMOD (source code)	Available	Available
LINUX_X64_RT	Linux-based target x64 (binary)	Available	Available
LINUX_X64_RT_SC	Linux-based target x64 (source code)	Available	Available
LINUX_X32_RT_SC	Linux-based target x32 (source code)	Available	Available
NI_LNX_RT_X64	NI Linux Real-Time x64 (binary)	Available	Available
SIMATICLiveTwin	SIMATIC LiveTwin (binary)	Available	Available
SIMATICLiveTwin_SC	SIMATIC LiveTwin (source code)	/	Available
SIMCENTER_TESTLAB_RT	Simcenter Testlab RT (binary)	Available	Available
SIMCENTER_TESTLAB_RT_SC	Simcenter Testlab RT (source code)	/	Available

Example:

The command below:

$AME/python.bat $AME/interfaces/fmi/fmi_export.pyc cs 2.0 -a SIMWB64 -e

will generate a binary FMU for the Concurrent SimWB x64 real-time target.

Standard FMU

In the case of a standard FMU (i.e., an FMU for standard, non-real-time platforms), at least one compiler must be defined, knowing that only one compiler can be used for each FMU architecture.

Defining multiple compilers will produce a multi-architecture FMU. The list of compilers is shown hereafter. The list of available compilers depends on the compilers that are installed on the end-user’s machine. Remember that some compilers are distributed with Simcenter Amesim and do not require any specific installation.

FMU architecture	Simcenter Amesim platform
Name	FMU architecture	Compiler	Windows	Linux
win64-gcc	win64	Mingw64	Available	/
win64-intel	win64	Intel oneAPI compiler	Available	/
win64-vc140	win64	MSVC ≥ MSVC2015	Available	/
linux64-gcc	linux64	gcc (cross-compiler)	Available	/
linux64-gcc	linux64	gcc	/	Available
linux64-intel	linux64	Intel oneAPI compiler	/	Available

Example:

The command below :

$AME/python.bat $AME/interfaces/fmi/fmi_export.pyc model cs 2.0 -a win64-vc140 -a linux64-gcc -e

will generate an FMU that includes binaries for the following architectures: win64 and linux64.

Limitations and requirements

FMU for real-time

The model must have been configured and preliminarily-tested using the fixed-step solver. Note also that only real-time capable libraries can be used (see Appendix B of the Real-Time Simulation manual for the complete list). The allowed FMU type is co-simulation. The FMI standard version and FMU customization must be chosen in accordance with the import capabilities of the chosen target. For a binary FMU generated for a Linux 64-bit target under Linux, please check the compatibility of the C library and the GCC compiler with the chosen target. In case of incompatibility, please generate a source-code FMU instead.
