FMI#

The FMI block is required to import models created based on the Functional Mock-up Interface standard. This standard is often used when exchanging dynamic simulation models.

A Functional Mock-Up Unit (FMU) is a file with the .fmu extension that describes a simulation model according to the FMI standard.

To work with this block, after dragging the block icon from the left panel, you need to upload a file with the extension .fmu, as indicated in the pop-up message, Fig. 1 :
