Overview

Co- Simulation Of Functional Mock-up Units (FMU) with Integrated Research Data Management (SOFIRpy) is a python package that lets you co-simulate FMUs with custom models written in python.

The package provides functionalities to:

• Export Dymola and OpenModelica models as a FMU

• Co-simulate FMUs with custom written models in python

• Store data and meta data of the simulation inside a hdf5 file

Use Cases

Control of physical systems.

Tools like OpenModelica and Dymola are excellent tools for modelling complex physical systems. These models can be exported as FMUs and co-simulated with custom written controllers in python. Thereby Python offers extensive tools for the development of control systems, such as machine learning toolboxes, so that complex control strategies can be implemented.

Automation of Simulation workflow

Easy-to-use functionalities for storing data and meta data in a hdf5 file allows to implement custom automated simulation workflows. (Example illustrating possible workflow coming in the future).
