Modelon Deployment Suite

Modelon Deployment Suite

Modelon offers a comprehensive suite of deployment products, designed to rapidly deploy system models across multiple platforms, varying tools, and organizations. Our deployment suite products, built on the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard, enable customers to utilize open standards for model exchange and co-simulation of dynamic models at the system and component level.

Modelon Deployment Suite Benefits:

  • Platform Independence – Our deployment suite solutions help engineers exchange models and co-simulate across varying modeling and simulation platforms.
  • Comprehensive Solutions – Our deployment suite offers a comprehensive product line-up that supports all major workflows in control system development and system integration for virtual prototyping as well as model-based workflows in a spread-sheet environment.
  • Maximized Return on Investment – Our deployment suite reduces time and costs associated with model re-usability, and accessibility. Our products are built on FMI standards, ensuring robust model exchange across hundreds of modeling platforms.

 

FMI Composer

Connect your models faster and easier with FMI Composer.

FMI Composer enables users to build system models from multiple FMUs and is the first tool to be built entirely on the FMI and SSP standards. FMI is the world’s leading standard for model exchange and co-simulation, with over 100 modeling and simulation tools supported. Its companion standard SSP (System Structure and Parameterization) is soon-to-be-released (early 2018) and further extends FMI functionality by describing systems of connected FMUs and the parameterization of such systems.

FMI Composer (along with the FMI and SSP standards) allows different teams, using different modeling tools, to access each other's models; and to work together to specify interfaces between respective components - ensuring synergy. Users can define how FMUs are connected to other FMUs and to external inputs and outputs. Optionally, graphical layout information can be provided to visualize system structure in a standardized way and allow for drag-and-drop type modeling.

Key Features

  • Build systems of multiple FMUs and save on standardized format: SSP
  • Define system architectures to enforce interfaces between component models
  • View FMU information including: parameters, variables, and meta data
  • Export SSP systems to FMU - enabling co-simulation in any tool capable of FMI import
  • Convert FMUs from Model Exchange (ME) to Co-Simulation (CS)
  • Create black-box FMUs that hide internal information
  • Create interface models in Simulink and Modelica that can be used to develop models adhering to a specified component interface

 

FMI Toolbox for MATLAB and Simulink

Modelon's FMI Toolbox supports all major workflows in control system development and system integration for virtual prototyping, from design and sizing to optimization and MIL/SIL/HIL validation & verification testing in MATLAB/Simulink. The additional FMI Toolbox Coder Add-on provides extensive support enabling users to export FMUs from Simulink and import FMUs to a Simulink Coder target.

Key capabilities and features related to the latest version of the FMI Toolbox are below.
