PyFMI

PyFMI is a package for loading and interacting with Functional Mock-Up Units (FMUs), which are compiled dynamic models compliant with the Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI), see https://www.fmi-standard.org/ for more information. PyFMI is based on FMI Library, see http://www.jmodelica.org/FMILibrary .

FMI is a standard that enables tool independent exchange of dynamic models on binary format. Several industrial simulation platforms supports export of FMUs, including, Dymola, JModelica.org, OpenModelica and SimulationX, see https://www.fmi-standard.org/tools for a complete list. PyFMI offers a Python interface for interacting with FMUs and enables for example loading of FMU models, setting of model parameters and evaluation of model equations.

PyFMI is available as a stand-alone package or as part of the JModelica.org distribution. Using PyFMI together with the Python simulation package Assimulo <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Assimulo>_ adds industrial grade simulation capabilities of FMUs to Python.

For a forum discussing usage and development of PyFMI, see http://www.jmodelica.org/forum.
