Often the goal of an AMOP-type optimization is to obtain a reduced order model that can be used in a system-level simulation. Functional Mockup Units (FMUs) can serve this purpose as a standardized format that can be used in other tools, such as TwinBuilder.

AMOP systems in optiSLang can directly export an FMU created from the results of the AMOP study. You can access this ability in Fluent using the Export FMU check box in the Create Design Points and Optimize Using optiSLang dialog box.

Figure 31.1: The Export FMU Option in the Create Design Points and Optimize Using optiSLang Dialog Box

When enabled, an FMU is automatically created, stored in the project folder hierarchy, and indirectly registered with the project through the respective parametric optimization study.
