Upload an FMU File to Run a Simulation Model
The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard is an open and tool-independent standard for exchange of models between tools. FMI defines a C interface that is implemented by an executable called a Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU).
FMU is a standard for exporting and importing simulation models. There are two types:
- Static FMU: doesn’t use state variables and it needs to have the last output calculated to calculate the new value
- Dynamic FMU: stores the value of the last output calculated in a state variable
FMU files can be generated in many simulation tools, for example using Altair Activate, a block diagram environment for model-based development and multi-domain simulation.
To create a new FMU function:
-
Click to add a New Function, named it and choose FMU as template:
Figure 1. 
-
Click to upload the FMU file and save the function. Note that the FMU file
needs to be compiled in Linux.

To test the FMU function, use the API Inspector to invoke it, as follows:

-
You can also try the following endpoints to retrieve the inputs and the
outputs of your function:
