Differences between FMU and Ansys Participants

FMU participants differ from Ansys participants in the following ways:

  • FMU input/output variables and parameters are restricted to single scalar values and do not have quantity types.

  • Expressions are not supported for data transfers from solvers to FMUs.

  • Regarding data model settings:

    • For co-simulations involving an FMU participant, the CouplingInterface singleton does not include MappingControl settings.

    • FMU participants have CouplingParticipant settings that are significantly different from those of Ansys participants. For details, see FMU CouplingParticipant Data Model Settings.
