Importing a Model from Simulink Using FMI

You can import a model from Simulink using FMI.

The Dymola Behavior Modeling app distribution includes the package FMIKit_for_Simulink to support export of FMU models from MATLAB/Simulink. This package contains an implementation of the FMI for model exchange specification on top of the model code generated by Simulink Coder. The MATLAB Target Language Compiler (TLC) is used to construct the XML model description.

This package for Simulink FMU export together with the Dymola Behavior Modeling app support for FMU import, facilitates simulation of Simulink models in Dymola Behavior Modeling app.

For more information about FMI see About Interfacing Other Simulation Environments.

Before you begin: In Simulink, you need to have the Simulink Coder component.
  1. Locate the package FMIKit_for_Simulink that is located in the installation directories of Dymola Behavior Modeling app. A typical path is: C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\CATIA\win_b64\resources\Dymola\Mfiles\FMIKit_for_Simulink.
  2. Extract the package. It can be extracted to any location.
  3. In the extracted package, consult the file README.txt to import the model from Simulink.

    Documentation for the FMI Kit for Simulink package is also available in the Program Directories. A 3DPassport is required to display this page.
