FMIImport.jl

What is FMIImport.jl?

FMIImport.jl implements the import functionalities of the FMI-standard (fmi-standard.org) for the Julia programming language. FMIImport.jl provides the foundation for the Julia packages FMI.jl and FMIFlux.jl.

How can I use FMIImport.jl?

FMIImport.jl is part of FMI.jl. However, if you only need the import functionality without anything around and want to keep the dependencies as small as possible, FMIImport.jl might be the right way to go. You can install it via:

1. Open a Julia-REPL, switch to package mode using ], activate your preferred environment.

2. Install FMIImport.jl:

(@v1.6) pkg> add FMIImport

3. If you want to check that everything works correctly, you can run the tests bundled with FMIImport.jl:

(@v1.6) pkg> test FMIImport

4. Have a look inside the examples folder in the examples branch or the examples section of the documentation of the FMI.jl package. All examples are available as Julia-Script (.jl), Jupyter-Notebook (.ipynb) and Markdown (.md).

What FMI.jl-Library should I use?

FMI.jl Family To keep dependencies nice and clean, the original package FMI.jl had been split into new packages:

FMI.jl: High level loading, manipulating, saving or building entire FMUs from scratch
FMIImport.jl: Importing FMUs into Julia
FMIExport.jl: Exporting stand-alone FMUs from Julia Code
FMICore.jl: C-code wrapper for the FMI-standard
FMIBuild.jl: Compiler/Compilation dependencies for FMIExport.jl
FMIFlux.jl: Machine Learning with FMUs (differentiation over FMUs)
FMIZoo.jl: A collection of testing and example FMUs

What Platforms are supported?

FMIImport.jl is tested (and testing) under Julia Versions 1.6 LTS and latest on Windows latest and Ubuntu latest. x64 architectures are tested. Mac and x86-architectures might work, but are not tested.
