Toward the actual model exchange using FMI in practical use cases in Japanese automotive industry

Abstract

The working group in JSAE (Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan) proposed and published a guideline about a method using adapters to enable the connection of FMUs in acausal modeling tools in 2015. After that, more combination of exporting tools and importing tools of FMUs were tested for more realistic models. The success of the method was confirmed in the case of using FMI for Model Exchange (ME). Additionally the connection of FMUs generated from various modeling tools was tested using FMI for CoSimulation (CS) for a full-vehicle test model. Through the above-mentioned activities, we obtained much knowledge about utilizing FMI for practical model exchange in the industry. Finally the requests for future realization of FMI are described.
