The Functional Mockup Interface - seen from an industrial perspective

Abstract

The demand for model exchange between development partners will grow during the next years. The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a well received tool independent approach for model exchange. The Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) have committed themselves to support FMI as exchange format for simulation models. Therefore; the FMI is a promising candidate to become the industry standard for model exchange and cross-company collaboration. In this paper; the FMI standard is evaluated from an industrial perspective.
