FMI over TCP library. In addition to the library, it includes a protocol, a C++ class layers for Client and Server, and a test application. The library is built on top of FMILibrary from jModelica, Lacewing and Google Protocol Buffers.
- The FMI host starts the slave server.
- A user that wants to simulate starts the master application, which connects to one or more slaves.
- Simulation is run and results are stored on disk.
The build was done successfully on Ubuntu Linux 13.10 & Windows 7.
- FMILibrary version used is FMILibrary-2.0b2.
- Lacewing version used is 0.5.4.
- Google Protocol Buffers version used is 2.4.1.
Begin with installing FMILibrary and Lacewing. Make sure the libraries and include files ends up in /usr/lib and /usr/include. Note that code is forced to link against the static lib of Lacewing.
Build and install using the following commands. You'll need CMake.
git clone https://github.com/umitresearchlab/fmi-co-simulation.git;
cd fmi-co-simulation;
mkdir build;
cd build;
cmake ..;
make;
sudo make install;
If the libraries and include files are not in /usr/lib and /usr/include then use the FMIL_INCLUDE_DIR , LACEWING_INCLUDE_DIR && PROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR variables to specify the include files location and FMIL_LIBS_DIR , LACEWING_LIBS_DIR & PROTOBUF_LIBRARY variables to specify the libraries location.
PROTOBUF_BIN_DIR variable is used to define the Google Protocol Buffers binaries location.
cmake .. -DFMIL_INCLUDE_DIR=<FMIL include files location> -DLACEWING_INCLUDE_DIR=<Lacewing include files location> -DPROTOBUF_INCLUDE_DIR=<Google Protocol Buffers include files location> -DPROTOBUF_BIN_DIR=<Google Protocol Buffers binaries location> -DFMIL_LIBS_DIR=<FMIL libraries location> -DLACEWING_LIBS_DIR=<Lacewing libraries location> -DPROTOBUF_LIBRARY=<Google Protocol Buffers libraries location>
