In order to run co-simulation using FMI, you must have one of the software applications as shown in Figure 11.21: List of tools supporting FMI. Motion only supports as FMI slave. If you have an FMI master tool, build a model as described in the following table.
Figure 11.26: Steps to execute co-simulation using FMI
| Step | Description |
| 1st step | Build model in Master tool |
| 2nd step | Import FMU's zip-archive |
| 3rd step | Connect each port |
| 4th step | Modified communication time step |
| 5th step | Execute co-simulation |
For the second step, Motion FMI uses the FMI.dll file in the
Installed Path\Interface\FMI\win64 folder. The installed DLL
file is basically in the co-simulation with AMESim. If the master program is not
AMESim but other software such as SimulationX or Dymola, the DLL file must be
manually replaced with the DLL file in the Installed
Path\Interface\FMI\win64\SimlationX folder.
